Bigha to Acre in West Bengal

In West Bengal, 1 bigha = 14,400 sq ft, only about 0.33 acre — roughly half the size of a UP or Bihar bigha, which trips up buyers comparing plots across states. This page locks the West Bengal conversion so you never accidentally apply a bigger state's bigha to a Bengal plot.

From a free tool to your own software

Software for property and land businesses

Land units change from state to state, and every conversion done by hand is a chance to misquote a plot. Developers, brokers and land consultants handling hundreds of listings need those numbers inside their own systems, on the listing, in the CRM and on the agreement, not in a browser tab.

  • Property listing portals

    Listings that show area in the buyer's own unit, gaj, bigha, katha or square feet, with state-aware conversion, map search and enquiry capture built in.

  • Broker and developer CRMs

    Track plots, site visits and follow-ups in one place, with area, rate per unit and total price calculated the same way on every deal.

  • Land-records digitisation

    Bring survey and ownership records into a searchable system, convert historic units consistently and flag mismatches before they reach a registry office.

  • Pricing calculators for your website

    An embeddable calculator that turns plot size and rate into a clear quote, so enquiries arrive with the numbers already worked out.

Questions people ask

How many acres is 1 bigha in West Bengal?

1 West Bengal bigha = 14,400 sq ft ≈ 0.3306 acre — roughly half the size of a UP bigha (0.62 acre), a gap that surprises people comparing land prices per bigha across the two states.

How many bigha make 1 acre in West Bengal?

About 3.03 West Bengal bigha equal 1 acre — divide 43,560 sq ft by 14,400 sq ft to get this ratio.

20 katha make up 1 WB bigha, with each katha at 720 sq ft (720 × 20 = 14,400 sq ft, matching the bigha value).

Why is a West Bengal bigha so much smaller than a UP bigha?

Each state's revenue administration fixed its own bigha independently during land settlement surveys, with no coordination across states — West Bengal's survey settled on a considerably smaller unit than UP's or Bihar's.

Is the West Bengal bigha value consistent across all districts?

14,400 sq ft is the value most widely cited for West Bengal land records, but always confirm the exact figure applicable to your specific plot with the local Block Land and Land Reforms Office (BL&LRO) before relying on it for a transaction.
