Nepal	72,900	0.6773	1.477

These are the commonly used figures. Some districts use a bigha that differs from the state standard. For a deed, a mutation or a bank valuation, use the size on the mouza record or the revenue office table.

Bigha to hectare formula

hectare = bigha × (size of bigha in sq ft) ÷ 107,639

For the standard bigha of 14,400 sq ft this is hectare = bigha × 0.1338, and the reverse is bigha = hectare × 7.475. Example: 25 bigha in Rajshahi = 25 × 0.1338 = 3.345 ha; a 2 ha farm in Nadia = 2 × 7.475 = 14.95 bigha.

In square metres: a standard bigha is 1,337.8 sq m, so 1 hectare = 10,000 ÷ 1,337.8 = 7.475 bigha.
