What is a Killa? History, origin and usage
Killa is the colloquial Punjab and Haryana name for an acre, and is synonymous with the ghumaon, an older term for land that a pair of oxen could plough. Its prominence grew through the killabandi system of British canal-colony settlement, in which large blocks were squared off and divided into one-acre killas.
Farmers and revenue records in Punjab, Haryana and parts of Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh routinely measure agricultural holdings in killa. One killa is treated as one acre for all practical purposes.
One killa equals one acre, which is 8 kanal or 160 marla, and 25 killa make one murabba. The grid of square killas you see in Punjab's farmland is a direct legacy of the killabandi land consolidation.
What is a Hectare? History, origin and usage
The hectare belongs to the metric system created during the French Revolution; the law of 18 Germinal, Year III (1795) defined the are as 100 square metres for measuring land. The hectare is 100 ares, its name combining the Greek hecto- (hundred) with the are.
It is the legal unit for land area across the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and much of the world, used in agriculture, forestry, planning and land management. In India it appears in official agricultural statistics and land records alongside the acre.
One hectare is 10,000 square metres, about 2.47 acres, and 100 hectares make one square kilometre. It is close in size to an international rugby pitch, which makes it a handy mental yardstick.

Tips for converting Killa to Hectare
- To go from killa to hectare, multiply by 0.4046856; to go back, divide by 0.4046856 (or multiply by 2.471054).
- For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 killa ≈ 0.4046856 hectare, so 10 killa ≈ 4.046856 hectare.
- The converter above keeps full precision; the tables round for readability, so use the tool for exact figures.
- Both fields update live as you type — change either side to convert in that direction.
How to use this Killa to Hectare converter
Type a number into the Killa field and the equivalent in Hectare appears instantly — there is no “convert” button to press and nothing is sent to a server, so it works offline once the page has loaded and is safe for any data. You can also type into the Hectare field to convert the other way (hectare to killa). Use the swap control to flip the two units, and copy the result with a single click. Because the calculation runs in your browser with full floating-point precision, the converter is more exact than the rounded figures shown in the reference chart above — use the chart for quick look-ups and the tool for precise work.
Accuracy and method
Every figure on this page — the formula, the worked examples, the conversion chart and the “convert to other units” tables — is computed from a single verified conversion factor (1 killa = 0.4046856 ha), never copied from a hand-typed lookup table that could drift. That factor is derived from each unit’s definition in terms of a common base unit, and an automated check re-verifies all of the site’s factors on every update, so the numbers here stay correct over time. This matters for killa-to-hectare conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
