Guntha to Square Feet — Deccan & West India

Guntha (Gunta, Ghunta) is the workhorse unit for agricultural and semi-urban parcels in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and parts of Telangana/AP. 1 Guntha = 1,089 sq ft (1,089 sq ft in our fixed-units file). Forty guntha commonly equals one acre in the traditional chain — engine check: 1 acres for 40 guntha. Verify locally on Bhulekh/Mahabhulekh before purchase; village splits may round.

Where Guntha appears

Village revenue officers and cooperative sugar belts quote "12 guntha irrigated" or "25 guntha dry." Pune fringe plots may list guntha while Mumbai builders use sq ft. Converting guntha to sq ft (1,089 per unit) lets you compare with RERA carpet in sq m via our metric guide. South buyers comparing with Kerala should use cent (435.6 sq ft) — different unit, same need for conversion.

Guntha vs acre and hectare

1 acre = 43,560 sq ft = 40 guntha in standard chain (engine). Hectare exports from Mahabhulekh: convert hectare → sq ft → guntha in one pass in the converter. Do not use a memorised "40" if your taluka uses an older survey — verify locally when deed and extract disagree.

Karnataka and Maharashtra nuances

RTC / 7/12 extracts may show hectares; convert before negotiating ₹/guntha.
Layout plans near Bengaluru may switch to square feet for apartment FAR — guntha for land parcel only.
Agricultural loan documents use acre/hectare — align with guntha quote from seller.
Pair with land area checklist before token.
