What is a Cent?
Cent is a traditional unit of land measurement used primarily in South India (Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh), where 1 cent equals 435.6 square feet or approximately 1/100th of an acre. The term "cent" comes from the Latin word "centum" meaning hundred, as there are exactly 100 cents in one acre.
What is Square Feet?
Square feet (sq ft) is the standard imperial unit for measuring property area, widely used in US, UK, and Indian real estate listings. One square foot equals a 1×1 foot square (approximately 30.48 cm × 30.48 cm). It's the most common unit used in property registration documents and building plans.
How to Convert Cent to Square Feet
Formula
Square Feet = Cent × 435.6
To convert cent to square feet, simply multiply the number of cents by 435.6. This conversion factor is derived from the relationship between cents and acres: 1 acre = 43,560 sq ft, and 1 cent = 1/100 acre = 435.6 sq ft. For example, 5 cents = 5 × 435.6 = 2,178 square feet.

⚠️Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Confusing Cent with Ground
In Tamil Nadu, "Ground" is commonly used alongside "Cent." Remember: 1 Ground = 5.51 Cents. Many buyers mistakenly assume they're the same, leading to significant calculation errors.
❌ Using Wrong Conversion Factor
Always use 435.6 sq ft per cent. Some sources incorrectly round this to 436 or 435, which can cause errors of 50+ sq ft on larger plots.
❌ Regional Unit Variations
In Kerala, "Are" (100 sq meters) is sometimes used. In Andhra Pradesh, "Ankanam" is popular. Always confirm which unit the seller is using before calculating.
❌ Ignoring Undivided Share (UDS)
In apartments, UDS is calculated in cents but represents land share, not usable area. Don't confuse UDS conversion with actual flat carpet area measurements.
❌ Patta vs Actual Measurement
Land documents (Patta) may show different measurements than actual ground survey. Always verify physical dimensions match the documented cent value.
❌ FSI/FAR Miscalculation
Building permits use sq ft for Floor Space Index. Converting cent to sq ft incorrectly affects maximum buildable area calculations and can result in rejected building plans.
