Part of the India Land Unit Converter series.
This is the least evidenced page in the series, and that is its subject rather than its excuse. Every other unit here could be traced to a statute, a rule, a glossary or a judgment. Gajam could not: the word appears in 171 documents of the Indian legal corpus and, on inspection, every one of them is somebody's surname. So the research went the other way, not looking for the word, but establishing what the paperwork says instead of it, which turns out to be answerable precisely and in large numbers. The arithmetic is exact and trivial; the finding is about vocabulary, and the counts behind it are stated with their dates and their limits.
1 gajam = 1 square yard = 9 square feet = 0.83612736 square metres, exactly. A 200-gajam plot is 1,800 square feet. There is no regional variation and no dispute about the number.
Gajam (గజం) is simply the Telugu word for a yard, used in property to mean a square yard, exactly as gaj is used in the north. Everything about the conversion is settled.
What is not settled, and what nobody writes down, is where the word itself is allowed to go.
| Where the number appears | The word used | Language | In the legal record |
|---|---|---|---|
| What the seller says | gajam | Telugu, spoken | not searchable; the word is also a surname |
| What the advertisement says | gajam | Telugu, printed informally | n/a |
| What the registered sale deed says | square yards | English | 1,791 documents record a deed extent this way |
| What the guideline value says | per square yard | English | 59 documents quote the Basic Value Register this way |
| What a judgment says | square yards | English | 445 documents pair market value with a per-square-yard rate |

The unit is written into every Andhra and Telangana transaction. The word is not. The market speaks in gajam; the deed, the guideline value and the judgment all say square yards. That is not a defect in the record and it is not a problem you can fix, but it is worth knowing before you compare an advertisement with a document, and the evidence for it is unusually clean.

Every one of the other thirty-two units has a section on this page. Where two units are the same area their table would be identical, so the second section points at the first rather than repeating it.
Every factor is a gajam's own size, 9 square feet, divided by the target unit's. To check any row by hand, take that number, divide, and compare.
Each one comes from a single anchor, the acre at 43,560 square feet, by exact fraction arithmetic. Where a factor recurs, the formula gives the fraction rather than a rounded decimal, because a rounded factor is a wrong instruction rather than an approximate one: the fraction is what has to be carried wherever the arithmetic must close.

Take the easy half first, because it is genuinely easy.
A gajam is a square yard. Nine square feet, 0.83612736 square metres, 4,840 to the acre, 48.4 to the cent, 8 to the ankanam. It does not vary by district the way the ankanam does, it does not vary by rod the way the bigha does, and no page in this series has found a source suggesting otherwise. If you have a gajam figure, you have a square-yard figure, and the conversion is finished.
The word is the other half.
Gajam (గజం) is Telugu for a yard, the length, before it is anything else. It is the same word as the north Indian gaj, both descending from the Persian gaz, and it takes the Telugu neuter ending that a great many borrowed nouns take. Property usage squares it silently, exactly as the north does, so a plot "of 200 gajam" is 200 square yards and nobody says the square part.
That shared ancestry matters for one reason only, and then this page stops: in the north the length sense is still live, and a High Court has read one as the other. The Gaj page sets that out. Nothing comparable has been found here, and the reason may simply be that the Telugu word never reaches a document at all.
Gajam is also a surname, and a reasonably common one, in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and Telangana. That is not a curiosity; it is the reason the usual method of this series does not work here. On every other page, the way a unit's standing is established is by searching the legal record for it. Search this one and you get people.
A full-text search of the Indian Kanoon corpus in September 2026 returns 171 documents containing gajam. Every result inspected is a personal name: Sumit Gajam, Gajam Laxmi, Gajam Praveen Kumar, Gajam Krishna, Harichandra Gajam. Not one of the inspected results uses the word as a measurement.
Because there is a control, and the series already built it.
The northern cognate is gaj, and it has exactly the same problem. It is also a surname, and the Supreme Court's 2024 land compensation decision is literally Gaj Raj v. State of Haryana. But gaj survives in the record anyway, in two forms: as the marked area word varg gaj, in eleven documents, and as a bare word the courts gloss for the reader ("52 square yards (Gaj)", "180-200 Gaj (square yards)") in fifty-four.
| Search | Documents | What they contain | What it shows |
|---|---|---|---|
gajam |
171 | every result inspected is a personal surname | the word exists in the corpus, but not as a unit |
gajam and square yard |
0 | n/a | no Indian judgment has ever glossed the word as the unit |
gaj and square yard |
54 | "52 square yards (Gaj)", "180-200 Gaj (square yards)" | the northern cognate is glossed, 54 times; this is the control |
varg gaj and verg gaj |
11 | nine distinct matters | the northern marked form is rare but present |
Documents containing both words, the unit's name and the unit, none. Not a small number. Zero, in the whole corpus.
So the two cognates are not in the same position at all. A judge writing about a north Indian plot will sometimes stop to tell the reader that gaj means square yards. No judge has ever done that for gajam, because by the time an Andhra transaction reaches a court, the word is already gone, and what is in front of the judge is a number of square yards.
That is the whole of this page's contribution, and the next section is the evidence that the number really is there.
Three questions, three counts, all from the same corpus and the same September 2026 search.
Search the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana judgments for a registered sale deed's extent stated in square yards and you get 1,791 documents, litigated matters, which is a point returned to below. The phrasing is uniform and unremarkable:
Note the third of those. 121 square yards is a guntha, and it is written as square yards.
Andhra's guideline-value record has a name, the Basic Value Register, and it is quoted in square yards, consistently, across more than three decades. Fifty-nine documents pair the register with a per-square-yard rate.
The clearest is Ponnavolu Sasidar v. Sub-Registrar, Hayatnagar, Andhra Pradesh High Court, 9 October 1991, a challenge under section 47-A of the Indian Stamp Act to a registering officer's valuation:
"the 1st respondent refused to register the same and informed the petitioners that as per the extant instructions, the sale-deeds can be registered only if the property is valued as house sites at Rs. 120/- per square yard."
That is the registration department speaking through its own officer, applying its own instructions, to a house site in what is now Hyderabad, per square yard. The same judgment records the limit of the register, which is worth carrying because it decides what the figure is good for: "the entries in the basic value register are not conclusive and binding on the Registering Officer."
The practice did not change. T.A.P. Kasturi Rangan v. Principal Secretary, Revenue Department, Andhra Pradesh High Court at Amaravati, 8 April 2026, records that "the value of the land in the Basic Value Register, was Rs.10,000/- per square yard." Thirty-five years apart, the same unit and the same register.
And when an Andhra or Telangana court fixes a market value itself, it uses the same unit. 445 documents in that corpus pair "market value" with a per-square-yard rate, from Special Deputy Collector v. K. Ramayyamma in 1984 through Land Acquisition Officer v. V. Manemma, which moved a rate from ₹18 to ₹75 per square yard, both figures the court's own.
The number does not change. Only the word does: and only one of the two words is in the record.
The unit is everywhere in the Andhra and Telangana record. The word is nowhere in it. Those are not in tension: they are the same fact stated twice, because gajam and square yard name the same nine square feet, and only one of the two names is written in English.
What that means for you is narrow and practical. Your advertisement will say gajam and your deed will say square yards, and the number between them will not change. If it does change, something other than translation has happened.
Four caveats, because a count is only as good as the corpus it came from, and this page rests on counts more heavily than any other in the series.
One. Indian Kanoon is an English-language database of court and tribunal records. A Telugu word will be under-represented in it by construction, and the absence of gajam from judgments is therefore weaker evidence about Andhra speech than it looks. It is strong evidence about one thing only: what reaches a court.
Two. The 171 documents were counted, and the results inspected were all surnames, but 171 documents were not each read end to end. The honest claim is that no inspected result uses the word as a unit and that no document in the corpus contains both gajam and square yard. The second of those is a machine fact and does not depend on inspection.
Three. These counts move as records are digitised. They were taken in September 2026 and any of them may be different when you read this. The direction (thousands of square-yard extents, zero glossed gajam) is not a number that plausibly reverses.
Four. A count of documents is not a count of transactions. The 1,791 square-yard extents are the ones that reached a court and were digitised, which is a small and unrepresentative slice of Andhra and Telangana conveyancing, heavily weighted towards disputes. It shows what the deeds in those disputes said; it does not show what proportion of all deeds say it.
What survives all four. A court reading an Andhra or Telangana property document is reading square yards, and this page's advice follows from that alone. Nothing here rests on the claim that Telugu speakers do not say gajam. They plainly do, which is why the word is worth a page.
The units an Andhra or Telangana conversation moves between, and where the gajam sits among them.
| Unit | In gajam | Square feet | Where you meet it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gajam | 1 | 9 | the unit a plot is spoken and advertised in |
| Ankanam | 8 | 72 | a bay count, still used in Nellore and coastal Andhra |
| Cent | 48.4 | 435.6 | the revenue record's unit in Andhra Pradesh |
| Guntha | 121 | 1,089 | the revenue record's unit in Telangana |
| Ground | 266.6667 | 2,400 | Chennai's unit, met at the Tamil Nadu border |
| Kuncham | 484 | 4,356 | an older Andhra field unit, ten to the acre |
| Acre | 4,840 | 43,560 | the unit the agricultural record still keeps |
Three things this table is doing that a list of conversions would not.
The chain is spoken at one end and written at the other. Gajam and ankanam are what a seller says; cent and guntha are what the revenue record holds; the acre is what the agricultural record kept before any of it was plotted. A single transaction routinely crosses all four, and the crossing points are where figures go wrong.
Two of these are exact in gajam and two are not. A cent is 48.4 gajam and a guntha is 121, both clean. A ground is 266.6667… and a kuncham is 484, clean again. The one that recurs is the ground, because 2,400 square feet is not divisible by nine; there is a reason nine of twelve Indian units divide cleanly into this one and three do not.
The ankanam is the one to be careful with, and not for arithmetic reasons. It is 8 gajam in most of coastal Andhra and half that in Tirupati, so a plot described in ankanam can mean two different areas while a plot described in gajam cannot. The Ankanam page sets out the variation and the districts. If you are given both figures and they do not sit at a factor of eight, that is the reason.
Multiply by 9 for square feet and by 0.83612736 for square metres. Both are exact, in both directions.
| Gajam, as spoken | As the deed will print it | Square feet | Square metres | Cents | Ankanam |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 Sq. Yard | 9 | 0.8361 | 0.0207 | 0.125 |
| 50 | 50 Sq. Yards | 450 | 41.8064 | 1.0331 | 6.25 |
| 100 | 100 Sq. Yards | 900 | 83.6127 | 2.0661 | 12.5 |
| 150 | 150 Sq. Yards | 1,350 | 125.4191 | 3.0992 | 18.75 |
| 167 | 167 Sq. Yards | 1,503 | 139.6333 | 3.4504 | 20.875 |
| 200 | 200 Sq. Yards | 1,800 | 167.2255 | 4.1322 | 25 |
| 250 | 250 Sq. Yards | 2,250 | 209.0318 | 5.1653 | 31.25 |
| 267 | 267 Sq. Yards | 2,403 | 223.246 | 5.5165 | 33.375 |
| 300 | 300 Sq. Yards | 2,700 | 250.8382 | 6.1983 | 37.5 |
| 400 | 400 Sq. Yards | 3,600 | 334.4509 | 8.2645 | 50 |
| 484 | 484 Sq. Yards | 4,356 | 404.6856 | 10 | 60.5 |
| 500 | 500 Sq. Yards | 4,500 | 418.0637 | 10.3306 | 62.5 |
| 1,000 | 1,000 Sq. Yards | 9,000 | 836.1274 | 20.6612 | 125 |
| 2,000 | 2,000 Sq. Yards | 18,000 | 1,672.2547 | 41.3223 | 250 |
| 4,840 | 4,840 Sq. Yards | 43,560 | 4,046.8564 | 100 | 605 |
The second column is not a conversion. It is the same number with the word changed, and it is in the table because that is the only transformation your paperwork will perform on the figure you were quoted. A 267-gajam plot is 267 square yards on the deed, 2,403 square feet, and 5.5165 cents.
The 484 row is worth remembering. 484 gajam is a kuncham, exactly ten to the acre, and 10 cents, which makes it the tidiest number in the Andhra system and a useful sanity check on any figure a broker gives you in cents.
Andhra and Telangana plots are advertised at a rate per gajam. The guideline value that decides your stamp duty is a rate per square yard. Those are the same rate, and the reason to say so plainly is that the two numbers arrive from different people and look like different things.
| Quoted per gajam | Per square foot | Per cent | Per ankanam | Per acre |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₹1,000 | ₹111.11 | ₹48,400 | ₹8,000 | ₹4,840,000 |
| ₹2,500 | ₹277.78 | ₹121,000 | ₹20,000 | ₹12,100,000 |
| ₹5,000 | ₹555.56 | ₹242,000 | ₹40,000 | ₹24,200,000 |
| ₹10,000 | ₹1,111.11 | ₹484,000 | ₹80,000 | ₹48,400,000 |
| ₹20,000 | ₹2,222.22 | ₹968,000 | ₹160,000 | ₹96,800,000 |
| ₹50,000 | ₹5,555.56 | ₹2,420,000 | ₹400,000 | ₹242,000,000 |
Multiply by 4,840 to get the per-acre figure and by 48.4 to get the per-cent figure. Both are exact whole numbers, so a broker's per-gajam rate and per-acre price should reconcile without rounding. If they do not, one of the two has been adjusted. The Square Yard page works that check through in detail.
The one asymmetry worth knowing is that your stamp duty is not computed on the price you negotiated. It is computed on the higher of that price and the guideline value in the Basic Value Register, which is why the register's per-square-yard figure matters even in a sale that never mentions it. And as the 1991 judgment above records, the register's entries are not conclusive on the registering officer either. They are a floor and a starting point, not a determination.
Four things, each of which follows from something above.
None of this is a legal requirement, and none of it is legal advice. The square yard has no standing in Indian metrology law at all, that finding belongs to the Square Yard page, so these are the habits that keep two documents agreeing with each other, not rules anybody enforces.
| Unit | 1 gajam = | Terminates? |
|---|---|---|
| Square inch | 1,296 | Yes |
| Square foot | 9 | Yes |
| Square metre | 0.83612736 | Yes |
| Are | 0.0083612736 | Yes |
| Hectare | 0.000083612736 | Yes |
Every one of these terminates. That is worth noticing next to the Telugu chain above, where the Chennai ground does not: the difference is that the ground is 2,400 square feet and 2,400 does not divide by nine, while everything in this table is reached from the gajam by multiplying rather than dividing. Going down the scale from a gajam is always clean; going sideways into another traditional unit is not.
Treating the deed's square-yard figure as a different area from the advertised gajam figure. They are the same unit. If the numbers differ, the area differs. This is not a conversion discrepancy and should not be explained away as one.
Assuming a gajam varies by district because the ankanam does. It does not. The ankanam is 72 square feet in most of coastal Andhra and 36 around Tirupati; the gajam is 9 everywhere, and it is the safer of the two to write down for exactly that reason.
Reconciling a per-gajam rate with a per-acre price by anything other than 4,840. The two are related by an exact whole number, and so is the per-cent figure at 48.4. A quote that does not reconcile through them has been adjusted somewhere.
A fourth belongs to another page. In the north the same area is called a gaj, and there the word is genuinely ambiguous. It names a length as well as an area, and a High Court judgment once read one as the other. Nothing similar has been found for gajam.
How many square feet in 1 gajam? Nine, exactly. A gajam is a square yard, and a yard is three feet.
Is gajam the same as a square yard? Yes, exactly: gajam (గజం) is the Telugu word for yard, used in property to mean square yard. There is no difference in area and no regional variation.
How many gajam in an ankanam, a cent, a guntha and an acre? Eight in an ankanam, 48.4 in a cent, 121 in a guntha, 4,840 in an acre. A kuncham is 484 gajam and a Chennai ground is 266.6667…
What will my registered document actually say? Square yards. In the Andhra and Telangana judgment corpus, 1,791 documents record a registered sale deed's extent in square yards, and none records one in gajam. The number will be the same as the gajam figure you were quoted.
Does any Andhra or Telangana law use the word? None that we could locate. The word appears in 171 documents of the Indian legal corpus and every result inspected is a personal surname; no document contains both gajam and square yard. This page treats that as a finding about the record rather than proof about Telugu usage, see the counts and what they are not.
Why are plots advertised in gajam but priced per square yard? Because they are the same rate in two languages. The market speaks Telugu and the registration system writes English, and the number does not change when it crosses.
How many gajam in a ground and a kuncham? 266.6667… in a Chennai ground (it recurs, because 2,400 square feet is not divisible by nine), and exactly 484 in a kuncham, which is ten to the acre.
Is gajam used in Tamil Nadu or Karnataka? Not as the working unit. Chennai uses the ground (2,400 square feet, 266.6667… gajam), and Karnataka works in square feet and guntas. Gajam is Andhra and Telangana vocabulary; the unit you meet at the Tamil Nadu border is a different one.
Why is my plot in cents on the revenue record but gajam in the advertisement? Because they are different documents with different jobs. The revenue record predates the layout and holds the agricultural parcel in cents or guntas; the advertisement describes a plot cut out of it. One cent is 48.4 gajam, so a 4.13-cent plot is 200 gajam, and both statements are true at the same time.
What should I check before signing? The square-yard figure, the guideline value for the survey number, any ankanam figure restated in gajam, and the direction of any metric conversion. See what to check before you sign.

| Sizes of the ankanam, cent, guntha, ground, kuncham and acre | Each unit's own page in this series |
The arithmetic here is one multiplication, held as an exact fraction and rounded once. What needed method was the negative: a claim that a word is absent from a record is only as good as the search behind it, so each search is stated with its count, its date and what it cannot establish, and carries a control, the northern cognate gaj, so that a reader can see what presence looks like in the same corpus and judge the absence against it.
The checking script recomputes every table cell from the same stored unit sizes as the rest of the series, and separately requires that every count stated in the prose match the count in the table, because this page's argument is carried by numbers that are not arithmetic.
Andhra and Telangana practice is what this page owns: a Telugu word, an English record, and the gap between them. Two neighbouring pages own the rest of this area. Its standing in Indian metrology law, and why circle rates across the country are quoted in it, belong to the Square Yard page. Its northern cognate (which is genuinely ambiguous, because there the word still names a length) belongs to the Gaj page. The unit most often quoted beside this one varies by district, and is set out with that variation. Each of those is cited here and none of it is restated.

1 gajam = 0.125 ankanam on the Standard definition. The ankanam has no single national value. It is also 0.25 (Tirupati) per gajam. Every definition this series has located is set out with the evidence behind it.
Eight gajam make one ankanam on the standard 72 sq ft definition. The ankanam was originally an architectural bay, the span between two pillars, which is why it has no single value and why the Tirupati ankanam is half the size.

1 gajam = 9 square feet, exact. A square foot is the base of this series.
Nine square feet to the gajam. Identical to the gaj and to the square yard; gajam is the Telugu word, and it is what Andhra Pradesh and Telangana registration documents use.
Where the square foot fits into the gajam's own record is set out in Gajam to Square Feet and Square Metres above; what follows is the arithmetic.
Square Feet = Gajam × 9

1 gajam = 0.83612736 square metres, exact. A square metre is the SI unit of area.
A gajam is 0.83612736 square metres, exact. Andhra Pradesh and Telangana registration documents carry both, the gajam for the market and the square metre for the record.
The ratio is the fraction 1,306,449/1,562,500, or 0.83612736 exactly.
Square Meter = Gajam × 0.83612736

Six of the thirty-two units are two names for one area with another, so their figures are identical to the last digit.
1 gajam = 1 gaj. They are one area of 9 square feet under two words, so there is no arithmetic to do: any quantity of one is the same quantity of the other. Gaj = Gajam · Gajam = Gaj
What separates them is which record, and which part of the country, uses the word.
1 gajam = 1 square yard. They are one area of 9 square feet under two words, so there is no arithmetic to do: any quantity of one is the same quantity of the other. Square Yard = Gajam · Gajam = Square Yard
What separates them is which record, and which part of the country, uses the word.
1 gajam = 0.020661 decimal. A decimal and a cent are the same area, 435.6 square feet, so any Gajam figure converts to the same number of either. Decimal = Gajam ÷ 48.4 · reverse Gajam = Decimal × 48.4
1 gajam = 0.020661 dismil. A dismil and a cent are the same area, 435.6 square feet, so any Gajam figure converts to the same number of either. Dismil = Gajam ÷ 48.4 · reverse Gajam = Dismil × 48.4
1 gajam = 0.000207 killa. A killa and an acre are the same area, 43,560 square feet, so any Gajam figure converts to the same number of either. Killa = Gajam ÷ 4,840 · reverse Gajam = Killa × 4,840
1 gajam = 0.033058 perches. A perch and a marla are the same area, 272.25 square feet, so any Gajam figure converts to the same number of either. Perch = Gajam ÷ 30.25 · reverse Gajam = Perch × 30.25
The tables above are arithmetic, and for a gajam the arithmetic is the easy half. What decides whether the figure you started with is the right one to convert at all is Gajam Is the Telugu Square Yard, and Only Half of It Is Written Down.
