How land is measured in Madhya Pradesh
Madhya Pradesh measures in a bigha of 12,000 ft², divided into 20 katha of 600 ft². It is the one bigha defined in square feet rather than by the length of a surveyor’s chain, which is why it is also the one that is not a whole number of square yards — 1,333⅓ yd², a figure no table can state exactly, so the square-foot value is the one to work from.
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.
