Understanding Rajasthan Land Records
Property transactions in Rajasthan are legally governed by the state's specific Land Revenue Code. While modern urban deeds (Sale Deeds) often use Metric units like Hectares or Imperial units like Acres, the ancestral land records—specifically the Record of Rights (RoR)—often retain traditional measurements.
Primary Units
Legal Context
Accurate conversion is mandatory for calculating Stamp Duty, Circle Rates, and resolving partition disputes in local courts.
Why Regional Variations Exist
Unlike states with a unified system, Rajasthan exhibits significant variations at the Tehsil level. This is often due to historical administrative divisions where local rulers standardized the "Chain" (Gatha) length differently. For example, a "Bigha" in Pucca Bigha Region may differ significantly from one in neighboring districts.
Our database includes these Tehsil-level overrides to ensure your calculations match the official Khatauni or Jamabandi records.
