What is a Cent in Land Measurement?

The cent is a traditional unit with a rich historical significance used to accurately measure small parcels of land, such as small agricultural plots and residential properties. The term' cent' is derived from the word 'centum', which means hundred. It is equal to one-hundredth of an acre.

While in India the metric system is used for land measurement, the historical relevance and adaptability of cent makes it a popular choice for measuring small land areas in south India. In metric units, 1 cent is equal to 40.47 square meters.

What is Guntha in Land Measurement?

Guntha is a traditional measuring unit in western and southern India (Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Odisha) for small parcels of land, typically below 1 acre. It is also referred to as gunta in some places. In metric units, 1 guntha is equal to 101.17 square meters. Guntha is approximately 100 square meters in Maharashtra. It is referred to as 'vaar' in Gujarat.
