HP Land Area Calculator – Bisva, Bigha, Hectare Converter
Welcome to the official UGRA E CAFE land measurement portal. We provide a professional-grade conversion tool specifically calibrated for the unique land measurement systems used in Himachal Pradesh (HP). Whether you are analyzing revenue records, selling property, or planning agricultural projects, our tool ensures accuracy down to the smallest decimal.
HP Land Measurement Explained
Land measurement in Himachal Pradesh is distinct from other Indian states. The system relies heavily on historical revenue units that are still used in Jamabandi and Tatima records. UGRA E CAFE helps you bridge the gap between traditional units and modern metric standards.
What is 1 Bisva in HP?
In the Himachal Pradesh revenue department standard, 1 Bisva is equal to 37.63 square meters. It is the fundamental building block for larger plots. If you have land measured in Bisva, simply multiply it by 37.63 to find the area in square meters.
How many Bigha in 1 Hectare?
A Hectare is a standard international unit representing 10,000 square meters. In the context of Himachal Pradesh land records, 1 Hectare is approximately 13.287 Bigha. This is a critical conversion for farmers applying for central government schemes or subsidies.
Why land units differ by district
While the state aims for standardization, slight variations in local terminology or “Kachha” vs “Pucca” measurements can occur. However, the official conversion used by our tool (1 Bigha = 752.6 sq.m) is the most widely accepted standard in the current HP Digital Land Records system.
Practical Calculation Example
If a farmer owns 10 Bisva of land, the calculation would be:
10 Bisva × 37.63 sqm = 376.3 Square Meters.
To convert this to Bigha: 376.3 / 752.6 = 0.5 Bigha.
