Moving further, you will get familiar with their current uses, the relationship these units share, how different they are, and how to convert them.

To ensure you don’t get lost at any step of the conversion process, we have also covered a few examples. So, not only will you learn theory but will also perform the process practically.  Without any more delay, let’s start with the definition of Biswa.

What is Biswa?

Biswa is a traditional and most popular yet efficient form of mapping the area of lands in India. It is most commonly employed in the northern states of India like Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand.

Usually, about 4-6 Bighas work out to be an Acre of land. While a Biswa makes only the twentieth part of a Bigha. i.e., 1 Biswa = 1/20 Bigha.

However, the value changes with the change in the region, based on the state’s measurement system. For example, the eastern part of Uttar Pradhesh considers 20 Biswa equal to 1 Pucca Bigha while 10  Biswa is equal to 1 Kacha Bigha.

In the context of Square Feet, 1 Biswa is equal to 1350 Square Feet. 1 Biswa in Square Meter in UP is equal to 125.419104 Square Meters.

Current Use of Biswa

Biswa is most popularly used for measuring the area of land for buying and selling, especially in real estate projects. It is employed in the northern states of India such as the Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, etc.
