1 dhur = 182.25 sq ft = 16.93 m². 20 dhur = 1 kattha; 400 dhur = 1 bigha.

Definitions explain standard Nepali terms in everyday and official use. Land-unit conversions follow the standard Nepali measurement system; tax and contribution rates reflect current law (Income Tax Act 2058, VAT Act 2052, Social Security Act 2074) and are revised each fiscal year by the Finance Act — always confirm current-year figures with the relevant authority.
