Standard Conversion Metrics and Area Formulas
Understanding the exact mathematical relationship between guntas, acres, and square feet is essential for land records and property registration.
Key conversion formulas:
- 1 Acre = 40 Guntas exactly.
- 1 Gunta = 1,089 square feet (or 121 square yards).
- 1 Gunta in metric units = approximately 101.17 square meters.
- 1 Hectare in Guntas = approximately 98.84 Guntas (since 1 Hectare = 2.471 Acres).
- Half Acre = 20 Guntas (21,780 square feet).
Regional Usage in State Revenue Records
The gunta serves as the standard sub-unit of the acre across western and southern Indian states.
State-specific revenue practices:
- Maharashtra: Land area on 7/12 (Saat Baara) extracts is recorded in hectares and ares, where 1 are equals roughly 1 gunta (100 sq meters).
- Karnataka: RTC (Pahani) records on the Bhoomi portal display landholdings in acres and guntas.
- Telangana and Andhra Pradesh: Pattadar passbooks on the Dharani and Meebhoomi portals list land in acres and guntas.
- Gujarat: Revenue records (AnyROR) utilize acres and gunthas alongside metric ares for land title registry.
