Practical significance in land records and subsidy eligibility

In digital land records like Bhulekh, areas are frequently recorded in hectare-are notation. For example, 0.4047 hectare equals 1 acre. Since government schemes define marginal farmers as owning up to 1 hectare (approx 2.47 acres or 3.95 Pucca Bighas in UP) and small farmers up to 2 hectares, converting bighas accurately is necessary when applying for welfare schemes.
