Commonly-cited approximate figure — confirm the exact local value with your state or district land revenue department before any transaction.How big is one bigha in Haryana?
One bigha in Haryana measures 21,780 square feet. The same area is 2,420 square yards, 2,023.43 square metres, or about 0.5 acres — and because an acre is fixed worldwide at exactly 43,560 square feet, one acre holds roughly 2 bigha. The figure derives from 4 kanal = 2,420 sq yd (exactly half an acre). In local practice the bigha divides into 4 kanal, and most transactions are actually quoted in that sub-unit rather than in bigha. Haryana also uses the local smaller bigha of 9,072 square feet, so establishing which bigha a seller means is not optional. For scale, the smallest bigha in the country is 6,806.25 square feet and the largest is 27,225 — a fourfold spread across one country. These are commonly-cited reference figures rather than legal standards — the area recorded by your district land revenue office is what governs any transaction. Last checked 2026-08-03.
