About these conversions
They use international definitions: 1 sq ft = 0.09290304 sq m; 1 sq yd = 0.83612736 sq m; 1 acre = 4,046.8564224 sq m; 1 hectare = 10,000 sq m. Figures are rounded for display.
Local units are deliberately left out. Bigha, biswa, kanal and marla vary with the local standard in use. Take the factor from the revenue record itself or from a surveyor, and keep the original figure next to any conversion. See the glossary and the land identifiers guide.
A conversion is arithmetic, not a survey, demarcation or measurement of a parcel. For that, see mapping, area and survey.
