A land unit used in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana and Gujarat. 1 guntha is 1,089 sq ft (121 square yards), and 40 guntha make an acre.
How it works and what to check
Farm and plot land around Pune, Bengaluru and Hyderabad is often sold by the guntha, and the 7/12 extract or RTC shows area in hectares and ares or acres and guntha.
Maharashtra has long restricted transfers of farmland in pieces below a standard area, with relaxations for some areas, so a small guntha plot sold out of farmland needs careful checking of its non-agricultural status, the current fragmentation rule and any layout approval.
