How Land Is Measured and Registered in Bangladesh
Bangladesh land records trace back through four major cadastral surveys: CS (Cadastral Survey), SA (State Acquisition), RS (Revisional Survey), and BS (City / Bangladesh Survey). While modern property deed registrations in sub-registry offices require precise square footage and square meter measurements, everyday commerce and inheritance divisions continue to use Shatak, Katha, and Bigha.
Surveyors (Amin) utilize the Gunter's Chain (জরিপ শিকল), which measures 66 feet (100 links). One square chain equals exactly 10 decimals (or 0.10 acre), making chain measurements seamlessly convertible into square feet.
