Bigha to Hectare – Conversion Guide

Bigha is one of the most widely used traditional land units in India, but unlike Hectare, Acre, or Square Meter, it is not internationally standardized — its real size depends on which state you're in. Always confirm which state's Bigha applies before treating a converted figure as exact.

Formula by State

  • UP / Bihar / MP / Haryana / Punjab / Jharkhand / Chhattisgarh / Delhi: Hectare = Bigha ÷ 4.94
  • Rajasthan (Pakka Bigha): Hectare = Bigha ÷ 3.95
  • Assam / West Bengal: Hectare = Bigha ÷ 14.83
  • Gujarat (Vigha, a related unit): Hectare = Vigha ÷ 6.17

Worked Examples

  • 5 Bigha (UP) ÷ 4.94 = 1.0121 Hectares
  • 5 Bigha (Rajasthan) ÷ 3.95 = 1.2658 Hectares
  • 5 Bigha (Assam/WB) ÷ 14.83 = 0.3372 Hectares

Notice how the same "5 Bigha" produces three different Hectare figures depending on the state — this is the core reason state selection matters for Bigha conversions.

Why does Bigha vary so much between states?
Bigha is a traditional pre-metric land unit, not an internationally standardized one. Each region historically defined its own local Bigha before metric standardization, so a Bigha in UP (2,025 sq.m) is roughly three times larger than a Bigha in Assam or West Bengal (674 sq.m).
10 bigha in Rajasthan equals how many hectares?
10 Bigha (Pakka, Rajasthan) ÷ 3.95 = 2.532 Hectares — noticeably more than the UP figure for the same "10 Bigha", because Rajasthan's Bigha is a larger unit.
