Understanding Indian Land Measurements & Stamp Duty Calculations
Land revenue records across India employ regional measurement units derived from historical surveying practices. Bhoomi Measure translates these regional units into standardized square yards and square feet, and estimates state-specific registration outlays under 2026 IGRS tariff schedules.
Regional Indian Land Measurement Unit Reference
Cent (సెంట్) — Andhra Pradesh & Tamil Nadu
1 Cent = 48.4 Sq Yards = 435.6 Sq Feet = 40.46 Sq Metres.
100 Cents = Exactly 1 Acre.
Ankanam (అంకణం) — Rayalaseema & Nellore
1 Ankanam = 8 Sq Yards = 72 Sq Feet = 6.69 Sq Metres.
605 Ankanams = Exactly 1 Acre.
Bigha & Biswa — North India
1 Pucca Bigha = 3,025 Sq Yards = 27,225 Sq Feet (approx 0.625 Acre).
1 Bigha = 20 Biswas.
Step-by-Step: How to Calculate Land Area & Registration Duty
- Choose your calculation mode: Use the Area Unit Converter to translate existing title deed units, the Plot Dimension & Cost tab to verify boundary measurements, or the Stamp Duty & Registration tab to budget statutory fees.
- Input property dimensions: Enter the boundary length and width in feet or yards. The tool automatically computes total square yards and square feet.
- Select state jurisdiction: Choose between Telangana (7.5% total duty), Andhra Pradesh (7.5%), Karnataka (5.6%), or Tamil Nadu (9%).
- Inspect itemized statutory breakdown: Review the transparent division between Basic Stamp Duty, Registration Fee, Transfer Duty (Local Body Cess), and Mutation charges.
Mathematical Formulas & Statutory Methodology
1. Plot Area Calculation:
Area in Sq Ft = Length (ft) × Width (ft)
Area in Sq Yards (Gaj) = Area in Sq Ft ÷ 9
2. Stamp Duty & Registration Fee Formula:
Taxable Value = MAX(Sale Deed Consideration Price, SRO Circle Rate Value)
Total Registration Outlay = Taxable Value × (Stamp Duty % + Registration Fee % + Transfer Cess %)
Worked Practical Example
Case: 200 Sq Yard Residential Plot Registration in Hyderabad (Telangana)
- Plot Size: 200 Sq Yards (1,800 Sq Feet / 1.65 Guntas)
- Consideration / SRO Value: ₹25,000 per Sq Yard = ₹50,00,000 total
- Basic Stamp Duty (5.5%): ₹2,75,000
- Registration Fee (0.5%): ₹25,000
- Transfer Duty / Cess (1.5%): ₹75,000
- Total Government Registration Outlay (7.5%): ₹3,75,000

Private Client-Side Processing: No land locations, survey numbers, property values, or buyer details are stored or transmitted. All calculations occur inside your browser.
Statutory Verification Notice: Government circle rates vary based on exact survey numbers, road width multipliers (e.g., plots facing roads wider than 40 feet often attract a 10%–20% premium), and agricultural conversion status (NALA). Always verify exact figures with your local Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) or official state IGRS portal.

1 Gunta equals 1,089 square feet (121 square yards), whereas 1 Cent equals 435.6 square feet (48.4 square yards). Exactly 40 Guntas or 100 Cents make 1 Acre.
Why is stamp duty calculated on circle rate instead of sale price?
