Question 1

How many square feet are in 1 guntha?

Accepted Answer

1 standard Guntha equals exactly 1,089 square feet. This measurement stems from a traditional 33 feet by 33 feet land square (33 × 33 = 1,089 sq ft) and represents precisely 1/40th part of an acre.

Question 2

Is 1 guntha equal to 1089 sq ft across all Indian states?

Accepted Answer

Yes, across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh, the official legal revenue registry recognizes 1 Guntha as 1,089 sq ft (or 121 square yards). While local vernacular terms like Gunta, Cent, or Ground exist across other regions, 1,089 sq ft remains the standard legal baseline.

Question 3

What is the formula to convert square feet to guntha?

Accepted Answer

To convert square feet to guntha, divide the total square footage by 1,089. Formula: Guntha = Total Square Feet ÷ 1089. For example, a 5,445 sq ft residential plot equals 5,445 ÷ 1,089 = 5 Gunthas.

Question 4

How many gunthas make 1 acre of land?

Accepted Answer

Exactly 40 gunthas make 1 acre of land. Because 1 acre equals 43,560 square feet, dividing 43,560 by 1,089 gives exactly 40.

Question 5

What is the difference between a guntha and a bigha?

Accepted Answer

Guntha is a fixed southern and western Indian land measure (1,089 sq ft). Bigha is primarily used in northern and central India and varies widely by state (e.g., in Rajasthan 1 Pucca Bigha is 27,225 sq ft, while in UP it can range around 27,000 sq ft). One standard Bigha typically ranges between 15 to 25 gunthas depending on state revenue laws.

Question 6

What does guntha indicate on a Maharashtra 7/12 extract (Satbara Utara)?

Accepted Answer

On a Maharashtra 7/12 (Satbara) extract, rural agricultural and non-agricultural land areas are officially logged in Hectares, Ares, and Gunthas. One Are (R) is equivalent to approximately 1 guntha (1 Are ≈ 1,076.39 sq ft, practically reconciled as 1 Guntha = 1,089 sq ft in local land division).

Question 7

How many square yards (gaj) are in one guntha?

Accepted Answer

One guntha equals exactly 121 square yards (gaj). Since 1 square yard equals 9 square feet, dividing 1,089 sq ft by 9 gives 121 sq yd.

Question 8

What is the difference between Guntha and Ground?

Accepted Answer

Guntha is used predominantly in Western and Central India (1,089 sq ft). Ground is a traditional measurement used in Tamil Nadu and parts of South India, where 1 Ground equals 2,400 square feet. Therefore, 1 Ground is roughly 2.20 Gunthas.

Question 9

What is the minimum land area required in gunthas for an NA plot registration?

Accepted Answer

Under amended land revenue regulations in states like Maharashtra and Karnataka, fragmentation rules often mandate minimum plot areas (commonly 1 to 2 gunthas for individual NA residential bungalows, while agricultural transactions may have fragmentation limits of 11 to 20 gunthas without prior layout sanction).

Question 10

How many gunthas are in one hectare?

Accepted Answer

One hectare contains approximately 98.84 gunthas (rounded to 100 Ares in revenue departments). Since 1 hectare is 107,639 sq ft, dividing by 1,089 sq ft yields 98.84 Gunthas.
