Is a Shotok in Bangladesh the same as a Decimal in West Bengal?

How many Square Feet are in 1 Katha?
Under the standard governmental surveying system, 1 Katha equals 720 square feet ($80\text{ square yards}$). Because 20 Katha equal 1 Bigha, a standard Bigha is $20 \times 720 = 14,400\text{ square feet}$.

Why do some regions use different sizes for Katha and Bigha?
Before British standardization (which set the Bigha at 14,400 sq ft based on the 80-cubit surveyor chain), individual zamindaris and princely states used varying measuring poles (Nol). Some rural areas still informally reference these historical customs. Official government deed registrations, however, enforce standard units.
