Kanal & Marla — Punjab & Haryana Land Units

Marla and Kanal in one table

How Marla links to Gaj and Bigha

1 Marla = 30.25 Gaj (square yards) in the standard fixed chain — useful when a Mohali colony map mixes Marla frontage with Gaj area. Bigha in Punjab is disputed with two common sq ft values; do not derive Bigha from Marla without selecting Punjab in the converter. Read why Bigha differs and Punjab land units.

Typical plot sizes buyers hear

• 5 Marla — small urban residential (1,361.25 sq ft).
• 10 Marla — common Ludhiana/Chandigarh colony (2,722.5 sq ft).
• 1 Kanal — larger homestead (5,445 sq ft).
• 2 Kanal / 1 acre — farm threshold (10,890 sq ft = half acre; 8 Kanal = full acre).

Haryana vs Punjab records

Jamabandi extracts may show kanal-marla symbols or hectare. Convert hectare → sq ft → Marla for apples-to-apples with broker quotes. Haryana Shahari colonies near Gurgaon may quote sq ft directly — Marla math still helps with older sellers. See Gaj guide for 9 sq ft per Gaj.

Corner plots and park-facing premiums do not change Marla size — but encroachment does. Match khasra with on-site boundaries. BhumiMeter Marla/Kanal factors follow standard revenue chain; patwari is final authority.
