What is Guntha?

Guntha is a traditional unit of land measurement primarily used in parts of India, particularly in rural and agricultural settings. It has its roots in the local systems of measurement, with 1 guntha typically being used to measure small land parcels. In Maharashtra and parts of Gujarat, the term is commonly recognised and continues to be used in land records.

One guntha is equivalent to 1/40th of an acre, which is approximately 101.17 square metres. While the guntha is still used in many regional practices, more standardised units like square metres and acres are becoming increasingly popular in legal and financial documents, making conversion necessary.
