How land is measured in Kerala
Kerala measures almost all land in cent — a hundredth of an acre, 435.6 ft² — and the unit is used for plots of every size, so holdings are commonly quoted as "eight cent" rather than in fractions of an acre. There is no local bigha, guntha or ground.
Every factor on this page is an exact fraction of an acre or of the surveyor's chain the unit was defined by, not a rounded decimal copied from a table — so the sub-units divide their parent unit evenly, which is the check that catches a wrong figure. Local usage can still differ by district, and a land record is the authority over any converter.
