Acre to Guntha Conversion: Formula, Table and State

In western and southern India—specifically Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Karnataka—land area is officially and traditionally measured in acres and gunthas. One standard acre is legally and mathematically equivalent to exactly 40 gunthas, providing a standardized conversion essential for reading 7/12 land records, sale deeds, and government subsidy applications.

Standard mathematical conversion formula

  • 1 Acre = exactly 40 Gunthas
  • 1 Guntha = 0.025 Acre
  • 1 Guntha = 1,089 Square Feet (33 feet x 33 feet)
  • 1 Guntha = 121 Square Yards (approx. 101.17 Square Metres)
  • 1 Acre = 43,560 Square Feet (approx. 4,046.86 Square Metres)

Quick conversion reference table

  • 5 Gunthas = 0.125 Acre (approx. 5,445 sq ft)
  • 10 Gunthas = 0.25 Acre (approx. 10,890 sq ft)
  • 20 Gunthas = 0.50 Acre (half acre, approx. 21,780 sq ft)
  • 30 Gunthas = 0.75 Acre (three-quarter acre, approx. 32,670 sq ft)
  • 40 Gunthas = 1.00 Acre (approx. 43,560 sq ft)
  • 80 Gunthas = 2.00 Acres (approx. 87,120 sq ft)

Reading gunthas on official land records (7/12 Extract)

In Maharashtra and Gujarat revenue portals (Mahabhulekh and AnyRoR), land area in the 7/12 extract is recorded in Hectare-Are-Square Metre format. Since 1 Are equals 100 square metres, 1 Are is practically identical to 1 Guntha (101.17 sq m). For example, a land area written as 1.40 Hectare represents 1 Hectare and 40 Gunthas (equivalent to 2.47 + 1.0 = 3.47 acres).
