Why the same unit differs
Traditional land units grew up locally, so a bigha in Assam or West Bengal is 14,400 square feet, while a pucca bigha in Rajasthan is 27,225 square feet and a bigha in Gujarat is 17,424. The katha, biswa and dhur scale with the local bigha. Marla and kanal are set by revenue rules in Punjab and Haryana, and Pakistan uses its own marla.
Each conversion lists the factor used, so you can check it against your land record. Local practice can differ even within a state, and registries sometimes use their own value, so confirm the size with the record of rights or the local revenue office for a sale or a legal document.
