Eastern vs Western UP Bigha

In many Eastern UP districts, people still quote land in Bigha/Biswa with a Bigha close to the classic 27,225 sq ft figure (similar to the Bihar/standard pucca reference). In parts of Western UP, a slightly smaller ≈27,000 sq ft Bigha is commonly used in local talk and older notes.

Both regions typically keep the nested structure of 1 Bigha = 20 Biswa (often called Kattha in conversation). The difference that matters for money is the square-foot base — a 2% gap on a large farm adds up.

If your document simply says “Bigha” without district context, ask the writer whether they mean the eastern or western convention, or convert both ways and see how far the quote moves.
