How it works
A marla is not the same size everywhere in Pakistan. Most new housing societies and development authorities in Punjab — including LDA and DHA Lahore — use 225 square feet per marla. The traditional revenue-record marla, still used in land records and many rural areas, is 272.25 square feet. Some societies use 250 square feet. Pick the size your society or property document uses before converting.
One kanal is always 20 marla, so a kanal is 4,500 sq ft at 225 sq ft per marla and 5,445 sq ft at 272.25. An acre is fixed at 43,560 square feet — exactly 8 kanal or 160 marla on the traditional measure. A square yard (gaz) is 9 square feet.
