Land measurement units in India vary from state to state. Measurement of land in North India is done in units such as Bigha, Biswa, Marla, Kanal, Kattha etc. whereas units used in Southern states include Ground, Cent, Ankanam, Guntha etc. Sizes of units like Bigha, Biswa and Katha also vary from state to state. Although there is an increase in the use of standard units such as Square Feet, Square Yards, Square Meters, Acres and Hectares, local units are still used all across India for measurement of land.

1 Kaccha Bigha (एक कच्चा बिघा) |
= 6 2/3 Bissa (6 2/3 बिस्से) = 1008 Sq.Yard and 3 Sq Feet (1008 वर्ग गज और 3 वर्ग फुट) = 843 Sq. Meters (843 वर्ग मीटर) |
