Legal Context: Pucca Bigha vs. Kachha Bigha Explained
When negotiating agricultural land deals or checking ancestral partition deeds, buyers frequently confuse Pucca and Kachha measurements. Here is how revenue courts differentiate them:
Pucca Bigha (Computerized Standard)
- Exact Area: 27,225 sq.ft (55 yards × 55 yards = 3,025 sq.yards).
- Legal Standing: Enforceable by Sub-Registrar offices and computerized state portals (UP Bhulekh, Bihar Bhumi).
- Acre Ratio: 1 Acre = 1.6 Pucca Bighas.
- Registry Impact: Stamp duty, circle rate valuation, and mutation orders must reference Pucca measurements or metric hectares.
Kachha Bigha (Customary Village Standard)
- Exact Area: 9,075 sq.ft (equal to 1/3 of a Pucca Bigha).
- Usage: Oral village agreements, lease rent discussions, and localized crop estimates in Western UP and Haryana.
- Acre Ratio: 1 Acre = 4.8 Kachha Bighas.
- Risk Warning: Never sign a registry deed based on Kachha Bigha quotes without converting to square feet and hectares first.
