Area Unit Conversion for Telangana Property — Complete Guide
Accurate area conversion is essential for property transactions in Telangana. IGRS Telangana uses sq.yards for urban schedule rates, sq.ft for apartment values, and acres for agricultural land. Understanding conversions between guntas, cents, ankanam, and metric units ensures you correctly interpret registration documents, pahani records, and market value certificates in Hyderabad and all 33 districts.
Gunta — The Most Important Unit in Telangana
The gunta (also spelled guntha) is the most commonly used unit for measuring agricultural land in Telangana. One gunta equals 33 feet x 33 feet = 1,089 sq.ft = 121 sq.yards. There are exactly 40 guntas in 1 acre. Revenue records (pahani/adangal) in Telangana typically express land area in acres and guntas.
Ankanam — Traditional Telangana Unit
Ankanam is a traditional measurement unit used in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. 1 ankanam = 72 sq.ft = 8 sq.yards. This unit is still referenced in older revenue records and property documents, especially for residential plots in rural areas.
Units Used by IGRS Telangana
- Schedule rates (land): Rs. per sq.yard
- Apartment rates: Rs. per sq.ft
- Agricultural land: Rs. per acre
- Survey numbers: Area in acres-guntas (e.g., 2 acres 15 guntas)
