About the decimal
A decimal is 1/100 of an acre: 435.6 sq ft, 48.4 sq yd or about 40.47 m². It is the same size as the south Indian cent. In West Bengal, Bihar and Bangladesh land records give area in acres and decimals, while people talk about the same land in bigha and katha.
Converting between the two systems is where mistakes creep in. With the 720 sq ft katha of West Bengal and Bangladesh, one katha is about 1.65 decimal and a 14,400 sq ft bigha is about 33.06 decimal, often rounded to 33. Bihar’s katha and bigha are larger, so the decimal figures change; check the local values first.
