Land measurement conversions can be a bit tricky, especially when dealing with various regional systems. For those buying or selling property in India, understanding how to convert an acre into killa is crucial. Whether you are looking to expand your agricultural land or planning to invest in real estate, knowing these conversions will help you make better decisions. In this guide, we will explain how to convert acre into killa, simplifying the process for property owners, investors, and land developers alike.
What is an acre?
An acre is one of the oldest and most widely recognised units of land measurement, originating from the imperial system. It is commonly used to measure land across many countries and, in India, is especially prevalent for agricultural and rural land. One acre equals 43,560 square feet or approximately 4,047 square metres. Traditionally, it was defined as a plot one furlong long and four rods wide, but today it applies to land of any shape, provided the total area remains the same.
An acre can represent rectangular, circular, or irregular plots, making it a flexible and practical unit for real-world land measurement. Whether you are buying farmland, assessing property size, or converting land area into other units such as hectares, bigha, or killa, the acre serves as a reliable and easily convertible standard.

What is Killa?
Killa is a traditional unit of land measurement commonly used in northern parts of India, particularly in Punjab and Haryana, and also in parts of Pakistan. It is mainly used for measuring agricultural land and holds strong relevance in local land records and transactions.
One killa is equal to one acre of land, which makes conversions between the two units simple and direct. In rectangular terms, a killa traditionally measures about 220 feet by 198 feet. It is also equivalent to 8 kanaals or 5 bighas, and forms one twenty-fifth of a larger unit known as a murabba. Because of its regional usage, understanding the killa unit is helpful when dealing with farmland purchases or sales in these areas.
