If you are planning to Loan Against Property (LAP), accurate information about your property's area is essential for valuation and eligibility assessment. However, land area in India is measured using multiple units depending on the region.

While square feet is a commonly used unit in urban centres, gaj is widely preferred in northern states such as Delhi, Haryana, and Punjab. This article will help you understand how to convert square feet to gaj.

What is Square Feet?

Square feet (sq. ft.) is a globally accepted unit used to measure property size. This unit is often used in building plans, property brochures, and legal documents related to home and land financing. For LAP applicants, the property's area in square feet is usually considered during the technical valuation to determine loan eligibility and disbursal amount.

What is Gaj?

Gaj is a traditional land measurement unit, primarily used in northern Indian states. One gaj is equal to 9 square feet. While it is a localised term, many property documents and land records—especially in semi-urban or rural areas—still mention the area in gaj.

If your property is in a region where gaj is used and the lender requires square feet, you may need to convert the area of your property.

How to Convert Square Feet to Gaj?

To convert the area from square feet to gaj, use the following formula:

1 square foot = 0.112188 gaj
Gaj = Square Feet × 0.112188

Let us understand this with an example. If your property is 450 square feet:

450 × 0.112188 = 50.4846 gaj
