What is Gaj?

Gaj, or Square Gaj, is a unit of land measurement used in North India, especially in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, and Rajasthan. A Gaj is 9 square feet or 0.836 square metres. Because of variations in land measurement in India, Gaj is usually combined with other units like square feet, square metres, and acres when selling real estate. It is a simple unit to work with, especially for small pieces of land.

What is Cent?

Cent is a popular unit of measuring land in South India, used in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Kerala. One Cent is equal to 435.6 square feet or 40.468 square metres. It is more suited for agricultural land, large plots, and real estate deals, especially in rural and semi-urban regions. Property developers and owners prefer Cent to Square Feet due to the ease of calculation for large land areas.
