Reading the area on a 7/12 extract
Current 7/12 (satbara) extracts show area in hectare–are–square metre (हे.आर.चौ.मी.). So 1.21.40 means 1 hectare, 21 are and 40 square metres, which is 12,140 sq m, almost exactly 3 acres. Choose "Hectare + are + sq m (7/12)" above and enter the three parts to convert it. Older records and everyday conversation usually use acre and guntha instead.
Examples
| Land | Acre + guntha | Hectare + are + sq m | Square feet |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 acre 15 guntha | 2 acre 15 guntha | 0 ha 96 are 11.28 sq m | 1,03,455 |
| 5 acre | 5 acre 0 guntha | 2 ha 2 are 34.28 sq m | 2,17,800 |
| 1,200 sq ft plot | 0 acre 1.1 guntha | 0 ha 1 are 11.48 sq m | 1,200 |
Tips
- Units differ between states. Local units such as the bigha vary from state to state. This converter uses the standard Maharashtra guntha of 1,089 sq ft.
- The official record is final. For a sale deed, loan or stamp duty, the area in the 7/12 extract, property card or government survey (Bhumi Abhilekh) is what counts. Use this tool to understand those figures, not to replace a measurement.
- Convert before comparing rates. Ready reckoner rates are given per square metre or per hectare, while sellers often quote per guntha or per sq ft.
