Customary units historically caused boundary ambiguity across different administrative tehsils.
Benefits of metric standardization:
- Uniform legal registry: Measuring landholdings in hectares on Khasra (ROR) records eliminates discrepancies caused by regional chain measurements.
- Government scheme eligibility: Programs like PM-Kisan and input subsidies calculate land limits strictly in metric hectares.
