Satak to Square Feet Converter

1 satak to square feet: 1 satak (শতক, शतक) = 435.6 sq ft. A satak is one hundredth of an acre. It has the same size in every district, so you never need a regional table for it.

One unit, three names

Satak, decimal and cent are the same thing. In Bengali papers it is written satak or shatak. In Bihar, Jharkhand and Odisha it is called decimal or dismil. In Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh it is called cent. All three are 435.6 sq ft, and 100 of them make one acre of 43,560 sq ft. So if you have a figure in cents or decimal, it is already in satak.

These are the sizes people ask about most often, with square meters and gaj (square yards) for registry and building plans.

How to convert satak to square feet

Square feet = satak × 435.6

Example: a khatian shows 0.06 acre, which is 6 satak. 6 × 435.6 = 2,613.6 sq ft.

Satak = square feet ÷ 435.6

Example: a builder offers 1,000 sq ft of land. 1,000 ÷ 435.6 = 2.2957 satak. A 1,200 sq ft plot is 2.7548 satak.

Satak next to katha and chatak in West Bengal

West Bengal buyers often hear the area in katha and the record shows satak. The West Bengal katha is 720 sq ft and the chatak is 45 sq ft. So:

• 1 satak = 0.605 katha = 9.68 chatak
• 1 katha = 1.6529 satak
• 1 bigha = 33.0579 satak

In Bihar the katha is larger, so these katha figures do not apply there. See satak to katha for other regions.

Reading satak in a record

Most records do not write "satak" at all. They write acre with decimals. Read the two digits after the point as satak. For example:

• 0.12 acre = 12 satak = 5,227.2 sq ft
• 0.05 acre = 5 satak = 2,178 sq ft
• 1.25 acre = 125 satak = 54,450 sq ft

Odisha records use acre and decimal in the same way. Kerala records use are and hectare, while deals there are in cents, so you may need are to square feet as well.

Tips

• Records on Banglarbhumi show area in acre and decimal. A figure like 0.0350 acre means 3.5 satak, or 1,524.6 sq ft.
• Satak values are fixed, but always measure the actual plot. A deed area and the ground area can differ.
• For a sale, mutation or partition, check the plot with the local block land office and the RoR.
