What is the difference between the Ropani and Bigha systems?
The Ropani system (Ropani, Aana, Paisa, Dam) is used in the hills and the Kathmandu valley. The Bigha system (Bigha, Kattha, Dhur) is used in the Terai plains. They measure the same thing but use different base units, so converting between them needs an area in a common unit such as square feet.
Can I enter land as 2 Ropani 5 Aana 2 Paisa?
Yes. Choose the Ropani · Aana or Bigha · Kattha input type and fill in each unit. The converter adds them up and shows the total in every other unit.
Are these conversions legally valid for land transactions?
They use the standard conversion factors commonly used in Nepal, but local practice and the figures in your land ownership certificate (Lalpurja) can differ slightly. For a purchase, sale or registration, confirm the exact area with the local land revenue office (Malpot) or a licensed surveyor.
