Whether you are verifying a Khasra entry, comparing plot quotes, or preparing a sale deed, you need a reliable Western Bigha (5 biswa) to Square Foot conversion. Uttar Pradesh has its own recognised Western Bigha (5 biswa) size, which is why generic online converters often return the wrong number. Below, our live calculator is pre-set to this exact pair for Uttar Pradesh, and every value in the tables is computed from the same single source of truth — not copied from random blogs.
Understanding Western Bigha (5 biswa) and Square Foot
Western Bigha (5 biswa) is a traditional land measure whose size is defined at the state level — not by central law. That is why two sellers quoting "1 Bigha" in different states may describe plots differing by a factor of three or four. Square Foot is the de facto market standard used by builders, brokers, and RERA carpet-area disclosures across India. BhumiMeter never guesses these numbers — every factor on this page is read from our curated data tables and computed through a square-foot base unit, the same method used internally by revenue surveyors when cross-checking Khasra maps.
Before you buy or sell — quick checklist
1. Ask the seller which Western Bigha (5 biswa) standard they mean — "Bigha" alone is not enough in most of North India. 2. Compare the quoted area with the measurement on your online Bhulekh / Apna Khata / Banglarbhumi extract (usually stored in square metres). 3. For RERA-registered flats, carpet area is disclosed in square feet by convention even though the legal unit is square metre — convert both ways before comparing builder quotes. 4. If two documents show different areas, the revenue record prevails over a broker's oral conversion.
