Understanding Punjab Land Measurement Units
Land measurement in Punjab blends historic Mughal and British revenue survey conventions with modern imperial and metric systems. Whether you are dealing with agricultural land registered in Jamabandi (records of rights) or buying an urban residential plot in Ludhiana, Amritsar, Jalandhar, or Mohali, understanding the local vocabulary is essential.
Kanal
A Kanal is the premier land unit used across Punjab, Haryana, and northern India for agricultural parcels and larger homesteads. In standard Punjab revenue practice, 1 Kanal equals 20 Marlas, which corresponds to 5,445 sq ft or 605 square yards (Gaj). 8 Kanals make up 1 Acre.
Marla
A Marla is widely used for residential plots and colony houses. Under standard Punjab revenue rules, 1 Marla equals 272.25 sq ft (30.25 square yards). Typical housing colony layouts in Punjab are sold in standardized configurations like 5 Marla (1,361 sq ft), 10 Marla (2,722 sq ft), or 1 Kanal (20 Marla).
Killa
A Killa is the traditional rectangular land unit used for rural agricultural fields throughout Punjab. Standard revenue demarcation defines 1 Killa as 40 Karams long by 36 Karams wide (220 ft × 198 ft), which equals exactly 43,560 sq ft or 1 Acre (8 Kanals or 160 Marlas).
Acre
An Acre is the standard legal and revenue benchmark recognized across India and internationally. In Punjab revenue records, 1 Acre = 8 Kanals = 160 Marlas = 43,560 square feet = 4,840 square yards.
Gaj / Square Yard
In urban Punjab property transactions, land is frequently quoted in Gaj (Square Yards). 1 Gaj equals 9 square feet. Hence, a 10 Marla plot equals 2,722.5 sq ft ÷ 9 = 302.5 Gaj.
Murabba
A Murabba represents a large agricultural block created during British canal colony settlements. 1 Murabba equals 25 Killas (25 Acres), comprising 200 Kanals or 1,089,000 square feet.
How Many Marla in 1 Kanal?
In Punjab, the standard conversion factor is fixed at 20 Marlas per 1 Kanal. This ratio is uniform across all revenue districts that follow the standard settlement chain. If you hold a land parcel measuring 3.75 Kanals, calculating total Marlas is straightforward:
How Many Kanal in 1 Acre and 1 Killa?
There are 8 Kanals in 1 Acre (and similarly 8 Kanals in 1 Killa). To convert any Acre value to Kanals, multiply by 8. Conversely, to convert Kanals into Acres, divide by 8:
How Many Square Feet in 1 Marla and 1 Kanal? (The Karam Derivation)
The reason 1 Marla equals 272.25 square feet is rooted in the traditional revenue measuring rod known as the Karam:
- Under the Punjab Land Revenue Act settlement, 1 Karam = 66 inches (5.5 feet).
- 1 Sarsahi is the area of a square measuring 1 Karam on each side: 5.5 ft × 5.5 ft = 30.25 sq ft.
- 1 Marla consists of 9 Sarsahis: 9 × 30.25 sq ft = 272.25 sq ft.
- 1 Kanal consists of 20 Marlas: 20 × 272.25 sq ft = 5,445 sq ft.
- 1 Acre / Killa consists of 8 Kanals: 8 × 5,445 sq ft = 43,560 sq ft.
How to Calculate Land Price in Punjab
Land pricing in Punjab commonly alternates between agricultural valuations (quoted per Killa/Acre or per Kanal) and residential valuations (quoted per Marla or per Gaj).
Example 1: Agricultural Land per Kanal
You are acquiring a 5 Kanal agricultural field where the asking price is ₹12,00,000 per Kanal:
Example 2: Residential Plot per Marla
You are buying a 7 Marla residential plot priced at ₹4,50,000 per Marla:
While this calculator utilizes the official standard Punjab revenue factors (1 Kanal = 20 Marla = 5,445 sq ft; 1 Marla = 272.25 sq ft), historical records or certain tehsils may employ different Karam lengths. For instance, in parts of Himachal Pradesh, older Jammu & Kashmir records, or selected non-standard urban enclaves, a 5-foot Karam yields a 225 sq ft Marla (4,500 sq ft Kanal).
Before executing sale deeds, mortgage agreements, or power of attorneys, always consult the certified copy of your Jamabandi (Fard) issued by the Revenue Department (PLRS) to confirm the specific measurement units and Karam standards governing your village or tehsil.
Common Punjab Land Measurement Questions
Clear, human answers to the most frequent questions regarding Punjab land conversions and property transactions.
How many Marla are in 1 Kanal in Punjab?
In standard Punjab revenue practice, there are exactly 20 Marlas in 1 Kanal. Since 1 Marla equals 272.25 square feet, 1 Kanal equals 5,445 square feet (or 605 square yards / Gaj).
How many Kanal are in 1 Acre?
There are 8 Kanals in 1 Acre in Punjab (which equals 160 Marlas or 43,560 square feet). In standard agricultural records, 1 Killa is also identical in area to 1 Acre (8 Kanals).
How many square feet are in 1 Marla?
Under standard Punjab revenue settlement rules, 1 Marla equals 272.25 square feet (equivalent to 30.25 square yards / Gaj). This is derived from 9 Sarsahis, where each Sarsahi is a square Karam of 5.5 ft × 5.5 ft (30.25 sq ft).
Is 1 Killa equal to 1 Acre in Punjab?
Yes, in the standard Punjab revenue system, 1 Killa is rectangularly demarcated as 40 Karams × 36 Karams (220 ft × 198 ft), which equals exactly 43,560 square feet or 1 Acre (8 Kanals).
How do I convert Kanal to Marla?
To convert Kanal to Marla, simply multiply the number of Kanals by 20. For example, 5.5 Kanals × 20 = 110 Marlas. For compound numbers such as 5 Kanal 7 Marla, the calculation is (5 × 20) + 7 = 107 Marlas.
How do I calculate the price of land per Kanal?
Multiply your total land area in Kanals by the rate per Kanal. If your land area is measured in Marlas or Acres, normalize the area first: 1 Kanal = 20 Marla, and 1 Acre = 8 Kanal. For example, a 10 Marla plot (0.5 Kanal) at ₹12,00,000 per Kanal equals 0.5 × 12,00,000 = ₹6,00,000.
How many square feet are in 1 Kanal?
1 Kanal contains exactly 5,445 square feet (20 Marla × 272.25 sq ft). In metric terms, this is approximately 505.85 square meters, and in square yards (Gaj) it equals 605 sq yd.
Does the size of a Marla vary across different regions?
Yes. While standard Punjab, Haryana, and federal agricultural revenue records recognize 1 Marla as 272.25 sq ft, some urban municipal colonies or historic revenue settlements in Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, or parts of Pakistan measure 1 Marla as 225 sq ft (using a 5-foot Karam). Always verify the specific Karam length used in your tehsil's Jamabandi / Fard record.
Is this calculator suitable for legal property transactions?
This calculator is designed as a mathematical estimation utility based on the widely accepted Punjab standard (1 Kanal = 20 Marla = 5,445 sq ft). For official deed registrations, title transfers, court matters, or mutation records, always cross-check with your local Revenue Patwari, Sub-Registrar, or official Jamabandi documents.
