How many Gunthas is a 30×40 site?
In Bangalore and surrounding areas like Anekal and Hoskote, land is often discussed in Gunthas.
- 1 Guntha = 1,089 sq. ft. (Slightly smaller than a 30×40 site)
- 1.10 Guntha = 1,200 sq. ft. (Standard 30×40 Plot)
- 2.20 Guntha = 2,400 sq. ft. (Standard 40×60 Plot)
If you are buying “DC Converted” land, checking the Guntha count in the RTC (Pahani) is the most important step.
✔ These values are mathematically exact.
