Salt Lake, New Town, and a labelled katha
Kolkata brokers talk sectors in Salt Lake, Action Area in New Town, and a katha on open land. Howrah is across the river and should be named. Garia is south. These are not one “Kolkata apartment” caption.
Names that show up in the chat
- Salt Lake: sector number is the address buyers use.
- New Town and Rajarhat: related names, not always the same Action Area. Write the one on the paper.
- Garia: south Kolkata. Flats and houses. Different commute from New Town.
- Howrah: write Howrah. A buyer in Salt Lake will not assume the river.
A katha in West Bengal is often taken as 720 sq ft. The converter has that button and labels it West Bengal, often. It is not a Bihar katha. Flats remain sq ft. Do not load a cottah figure from memory if the deed states sq ft.
Example listing
Example only. This is not a live listing, not a customer, and not a price guide.
Example Kolkata land lineLand near Garia. 2 katha at the West Bengal 720 sq ft figure = 1,440 sq ft, only if the deed agrees. Asking price not on this example. Broker link.
On the visit
If the deed does not say 720, do not send the example maths. Send the deed’s number. Sector visits in Salt Lake still need the owner’s phone in the vault.
Questions
No. It is a figure often used in West Bengal. The button says so. Other states differ.
Buyers mix them. Write the name on the document.
