How it is calculated
Convert to square feet first, then divide by the size of one Decimal: 1 Satak × 435.6 sq ft = 435.6 sq ft, and 435.6 ÷ 435.6 = 1 Decimal.
For a mixed area, add the parts in sq ft first. Example: 1 Katha 8 Chatak = 720 + 8 × 45 = 1,080 sq ft = 2.48 Decimal.

Why other websites show different numbers
West Bengal uses 1 Bigha = 20 Katha = 14,400 sq ft, with 1 Katha = 720 sq ft and 1 Chatak = 45 sq ft. The same names mean different sizes in other places, and many national websites mix them up:
- Some sites give a Katha of 1,361.25 sq ft. That is a Bihar value, not a West Bengal one.
- Assam also uses a Bigha of 14,400 sq ft, but splits it into 5 Katha, so an Assam Katha is 2,880 sq ft.
- Some sites give about 1.6 Bigha per Acre. That is a much larger Bigha used in parts of north India. In West Bengal, 1 Acre = 3.025 Bigha.
- Some pages contradict themselves, for example "20 Katha = 1 Bigha" and "1 Bigha = 37.38 Katha" on the same page.
- Sites and videos from Bangladesh use the same names (Bigha, Katha, Shotok), but local sizes there can differ by area, so check which region a source is about.
These are the West Bengal real-estate standard conversions. Bigha size historically varied by district and estate, and Ganda is rarely used today. For registration, mutation or any legal decision, confirm the area against your record at the BL&LRO (Block Land and Land Reforms Office).
