Commonly-cited approximate figure — confirm the exact local value with your state or district land revenue department before any transaction.Acre to Gaj: what is the actual conversion?
One acre is exactly 4,840 gaj (square yards). This is one of the few conversions on this site with a single answer for the whole country, because there is no bigha anywhere in it. A gaj is one square yard, exactly 9 square feet, and an acre is fixed worldwide at 43,560 square feet, so 43,560 ÷ 9 = 4,840, in every state. That is precisely why agreeing a price in gaj is safer than agreeing one in bigha: the gaj does not change when you cross a state line, and the bigha does. Plots in north India are commonly sold in gaj while agricultural land is quoted in bigha, and the confusion usually starts at that boundary. The ratio itself is exact, but any bigha figure you convert alongside it is a commonly-cited approximation rather than a legal standard: the area recorded by your district land revenue office governs any transaction.
