Why this matters when you buy land
Agricultural land in Karnataka is quoted in acres and gunta, converted land and sites in square feet. A seller quoting “₹27,000 per gunta” and a listing quoting “₹2,600 per sq ft” are not comparable until you convert — and the gap between the two is where buyers routinely mis-price a plot.
The extent written on the RTC (Pahani / Utara) is the figure that matters legally, not the one in the advertisement. Where the RTC extent and the physical plot disagree, reconcile them against the survey sketch / PT sheet before paying anything.
Common questions
- How many gunta are in 1 acre in Karnataka?
- One acre is 40 gunta. This is the standard conversion used across Karnataka and Maharashtra revenue records.
- How many square feet is 1 gunta?
- One gunta is 1,089 square feet — a square of 33 ft by 33 ft. Forty of them make an acre, which is 43,560 sq ft.
- Is guntha the same as gunta?
- Yes. Both spellings refer to the same unit; "gunta" is more common in Karnataka and "guntha" in Maharashtra. Some records also write it as "guntas".
- What is the difference between gunta and acre?
- They measure the same thing at different scales. A gunta is the smaller unit at 1,089 sq ft, and an acre is 40 gunta. Agricultural land in Karnataka is usually quoted in acres and gunta together — "3 acre 20 gunta" means three and a half acres.
- How do I read the area on an RTC?
- The Karnataka RTC (also called Pahani or Utara) states extent in acres and gunta, or in hectares on newer records. If the RTC extent does not match the physical plot, reconcile it against the survey sketch before you buy — that mismatch is one of the most common causes of a disputed sale.
