Hectare to gaj: 1 hectare = 11,959.9 gaj (square yards). A hectare is 10,000 square meters and a gaj is 9 sq ft, which is 0.83612736 square meter. Dividing the two gives just under 12,000 gaj in a hectare.
Why people in Uttar Pradesh ask this
On UP Bhulekh, the khatauni shows land area in hectare. But plots in towns and villages across Uttar Pradesh are bought and sold in gaj. So a family that wants to sell part of a field, or build a house on it, needs to turn a hectare figure into gaj. The same is true in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Uttarakhand, where records also use hectare.
How to convert hectare to gaj
Gaj = hectare × 11,959.9005
Worked example: a khatauni shows 0.1260 hectare. 0.126 × 11,959.9005 = 1,506.9475 gaj, or about 1,507 gaj.
Hectare = gaj ÷ 11,959.9005
Example: you plan to sell a 200 gaj plot from that field. 200 ÷ 11,959.9005 = 0.0167 hectare. That is the area that should be cut from the khatauni.

What a hectare looks like in plots
A hectare is a square of 100 m on each side, which is about 328.08 ft per side. To picture it in plots:
- It could hold about 119.6 plots of 100 gaj each, before roads and drains.
- Or about 59.8 plots of 200 gaj each.
- In acre terms, it is 2.4711 acre, and one acre is 4,840 gaj.
Real layouts lose a share of land to roads and open space, so the number of plots you can sell is always lower.
Linking hectare, gaj and bigha in UP
Many UP families still think in bigha and biswa. On the pucca bigha of 27,225 sq ft:
- 1 pucca bigha = 3,025 gaj
- 1 pucca biswa = 151.25 gaj
- 1 hectare = 3.9537 pucca bigha
UP has no single bigha, though. Kachha bighas of a half or a third of the pucca bigha are reported in many areas. See bigha to gaj for the regional values, and ask the lekhpal which one your village follows.
Tips
- Do not drop zeros. 0.0126 hectare is 150.6947 gaj, ten times smaller than 0.126 hectare.
- Gaj in land deals always means a square yard of 9 sq ft. 1 hectare is 107,639.1042 sq ft.
- For a sale, mutation or partition, match the gaj figure on the deed with the hectare figure in the khatauni, and confirm with the lekhpal or tehsil office.
