What is Zameen?
It is a specialized real estate utility for calculating plot areas, stamp duty, and land measurements in common Indian units like Bigha, Biswa, and Gaj.
How do I convert Bigha to Square Feet?
Use the 'Land Converter'. Enter the value in Bigha and select your State (since Bigha size varies by region) to get the exact square foot measurement.
Why is Bigha size different in different states?
Land units are historical. For example, a 'Pucca Bigha' in UP is different from a Bigha in Rajasthan or Bengal. Our tool handles these regional offsets automatically.
How is Stamp Duty calculated?
Stamp duty is typically 5-7% of the property value, depending on the state and gender of the owner. Our calculator provides a quick estimate based on current slabs.
Can I calculate the area of an irregularly shaped plot?
Yes. Use the 'Plot Calculator' and enter the lengths of all four sides. It uses Heron's formula to estimate the total area in your preferred unit.
What is 'Gaj' and how does it relate to Square Yards?
In India, 1 Gaj is equal to 1 Square Yard (9 Square Feet). It is the most common unit for residential plots in North India.
Are these calculations legally valid?
They provide highly accurate estimates for planning. For official registration, always refer to the circle rates provided by your local Tehsildar or Sub-Registrar office.
How do I find the 'Circle Rate' for my area?
Circle rates are government-fixed minimum values. While we provide general estimates, you should check your state's 'Bhu-Abhilekh' or 'Igr-up' portal for the latest official rates.
Does the tool work offline?
Yes. Once landed on the page, the core conversion math works without an internet connection.
Can I calculate property registration costs?
Yes. The tool sums up the stamp duty and registration fees (typically 1%) to give you a total closing cost estimate for your property purchase.
