About Ankanam

The ankanam is a traditional unit of land area used in certain parts of South India, particularly Kerala. While its historical significance persists, its application in the formal real estate market is diminishing.

Historical land records or inheritance documents from Kerala might reference ankanams, suggesting its establishment within older land measurement systems.

Current Uses: The metric system reigns supreme in modern Indian real estate. Square meters (sq m) and hectares (ha) are the standard units for land area. However, ankanams might still surface in a couple of scenarios:

Rural Land Transactions: In rare instances, rural areas in Kerala might use ankanam during informal land negotiations, especially for agricultural purposes.
Older Land Records: Property records from Kerala, especially those predating metrication, might utilize ankanam. Understanding ankanam conversions can be helpful when interpreting such documents.

Calculation and Conversion: Calculating the area in ankanams involves multiplying the length by the width of the land, both measured in ankanams. However, the conversion factor to square feet can vary slightly depending on the specific location in Kerala. Here's a general conversion:

One ankanam is roughly equivalent to 1/7th of an acre, which translates to approximately 43,560 square feet (4,046.86 square meters).

Impact on Indian Real Estate Market: The ankanam has minimal influence in the formal Indian real estate market. Square meters and hectares are the standard units. Understanding ankanam conversions might be beneficial only in rare situations involving:

Inheritance Matters: Inheriting land with records based on ankanams might necessitate conversion for clear comprehension of the property size.
Informal Agreements: Rural areas in Kerala might occasionally use ankanam in informal land agreements, requiring conversion for legal clarity.

The ankanam serves as a historical marker in land measurement practices for specific regions of South India. While its use might decline in favor of the metric system, it retains relevance in specific contexts, particularly during land transactions involving older records or informal agreements.
