Understanding Assam's Traditional Land Measurement System
Assam uses traditional land units—Bigha, Katha, and Lecha—across its land records, agricultural transactions, and property deeds. These units have been standardized by government notifications to support accurate land administration and avoid confusion with similar units in neighboring states.
Modern land records and court documents refer to these authentic conversions. Both urban and rural Assam rely on these rates for property tax, buying and selling, crop subsidies, and encumbrance certificates.

Assam Land Measurement Examples
Example 1: Small Tea Garden Near Jorhat
- • 3 Bigha = 15 Katha = 300 Lecha = 43,200 Sq.ft
- • 2 Katha = 40 Lecha = 5,760 Sq.ft
Land documents mention tea garden area in Bigha, but subsidy and land tax are often computed in Square Feet.
Example 2: Residential Plot in Guwahati City
- • 1 Katha = 20 Lecha = 2,880 Sq.ft
- • Apartment plots are usually listed in Square Feet for convenience.
Translating Katha/Lecha into Sq.ft is essential for loan and property sale paperwork.
Legal and Regulatory Guidelines in Assam
- • Conversion rates as per Assam Government Land Revenue manual and notifications.
- • Circle offices and land revenue offices refer to these rates for mutation and boundary records.
- • Mutation and inheritance cases require conversions for old land deeds.
- • Revenue officers rely on these conversions for Chitha and Jamabandi record entry.
Common Pitfalls (and Solutions) in Assam Land Conversion
Mistake: Using Bihar/Bengal Bigha for Assam Land
Problem: Bigha size varies by state (Assam = 14,400 Sq.ft vs West Bengal = 14,400 Sq.ft vs Bihar = 27,225 Sq.ft).
Solution: Always clarify Assam rates when filling out or converting forms.
Mistake: Ignoring Lecha for Fractional Calculations
Problem: Some people round Katha, missing out Lecha value.
Solution: Value accuracy by converting or recording Lecha for all calculations.
