What is Biswa?

Biswa is a traditional property measurement unit used primarily in North Indian states such as Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Haryana. Its value can vary regionally, often ranging between 1,000 and 3,025 square feet depending on the locality. This unit reflects the historical system of property measurement in these areas and continues to be a vital part of property deals today.

Understanding biswa is especially important for anyone dealing with agricultural property or village properties. Property records in these areas may often mention biswa instead of more standardised units like hectares or acres.
