How to read "A-G" land extents
Telangana records write extent as acres-guntas. 3-20 means 3 acres 20 guntas. To convert to acres, divide the guntas by 40 and add: 3 + 20 ÷ 40 = 3.5 acres. To convert to square yards, multiply total guntas by 121: (3 × 40 + 20) × 121 = 16,940 sq yd.
Price per gunta and per acre
Because 1 acre = 40 guntas, a price of ₹1,00,000 per gunta equals ₹40,00,000 per acre. A price of ₹10,000 per square yard equals ₹12,10,000 per gunta (121 × ₹10,000).
