Rajasthan Land Measurement Units
Rajasthan does not share one national "standard Bigha." Revenue offices, farmers, and city brokers may use different unit sizes — and the wrong assumption can change an quoted plot area by 25% to 400%. This hub lists every variable unit BhumiMeter tracks for Rajasthan, with square-foot, acre, and square-metre equivalents computed from our verified data file (not AI estimates). Use the pre-set converter below, then cross-check on Apna Khata (Rajasthan) before paying earnest money.

What brokers & patwaris actually use
Rajasthani land deals — especially in Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, and Bikaner — almost always quote area in Pucca Bigha for agricultural and peri-urban plots, while older revenue entries in certain tehsils still reference Kachha Bigha. Brokers may round 27,225 sq ft to "27,000 sq ft" in casual conversation. Biswa (1,089 sq ft in the standard used here) appears when dividing inherited holdings. Always ask "Pucca ya Kachha?" before agreeing on price per Bigha.
Common pitfalls in Rajasthan
- Confusing Pucca Bigha (27,225 sq ft) with Kachha Bigha (17,424 sq ft) — a 36% difference.
- Accepting rounded "27,000 sq ft per Bigha" in contracts without specifying Pucca/Kachha.
- Ignoring Biswa subdivisions on fragmented inheritance plots.
