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 Uttarakhand?
One bigha in Uttarakhand measures 6,806.25 square feet. The same area is 756.25 square yards, 632.32 square metres, or about 0.1563 acres — and because an acre is fixed worldwide at exactly 43,560 square feet, one acre holds roughly 6.4 bigha. The figure derives from 756.25 sq yd — the hill-district bigha. In local practice the bigha divides into 20 biswa, and most transactions are actually quoted in that sub-unit rather than in bigha. Uttarakhand also uses the plains districts (haridwar, udham singh nagar) of 17,424 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.
