What is Gaj?

Gaj is a local measurement unit for land widely found in North India, Pakistan, and Nepal, which equals one square yard (sq yd). Gaj is extensively applied in measuring residential land, plots, and commercial properties, particularly in areas where customary land measurement systems dominate property deals. Although the metric system has been the international standard, Gaj remains a unit of choice in real estate transactions, especially in North India. Although the perception of land value in Gaj could be different from one state to another based on regional conventions, its measurement does not change.

One Gaj is defined as:

- 1 Gaj = 9 square feet (sq ft)

- 1 Gaj = 0.836127 square meters (m²)

- 1 Gaj = 1 square yard (sq yd)

What is Hectare?

A Hectare is a land measure unit in metric terms used extensively for measuring big pieces of land, such as farmlands, forests, and government land records. It offers a universal way of measuring land, which is instrumental in official transactions. It is used extensively globally, particularly in agriculture and property, to measure large expanses of land. As it is a specific and internationally recognised unit, government authorities and real estate developers use Hectares instead of conventional units such as Gaj, Bigha, or Acre.

One Hectare is equivalent to:

- 10,000 square meters (m²)

- 107,639 square feet (sq ft)

- 2.47105 Acres
