Area Unit Description (from GoRT)
In Chhattisgarh, land area in official records is maintained primarily in the metric system — Hectare, Are and Square Metre — as recorded in the B-1 Khatauni and P-II Khasra on the state's CG Bhuiyan portal. In everyday transactions, however, farmers and buyers overwhelmingly speak in Acre and its sub-unit Decimal (locally called Dismil / डिसमिल), where 1 Acre = 100 Decimal and 1 Decimal is about 435.6 square feet. Urban and residential plots in cities like Raipur, Bilaspur and Durg are usually quoted in Square Feet. Because the same plot may be described in Hectare on the record and in Decimal or Acre in conversation, this converter lets you move between all six units accurately.
