Common Land Measuring Units in Pakistan

The document defines various common land measuring units used in Pakistan. It provides conversions between karam, marla, kanal, bega, acre, hectare, murabba/square, and lat. The smallest and most basic unit is karam, which equals 2 feet steps or 1.67 meters. Larger units are based on multiples of smaller ones, with 1 marla equal to 9 square karams, 1 kanal equal to 20 marlas, and so on up to the largest unit, 1 square, which equals 24 acres.

(An ORIGNAL ARTICLE OF PakAgriFarming.blogspot.com author; previously available on

Karam
1 karam = 2 ft. steps = 5.5 ft. = 1.67 m
1 sq. Karam = 5.5 x 5.5 ft. = (5.5)2 ft.2 = 30.25 ft.2

or

1 sq. Karam = 1.67 x 1.67 m = (1.67)2 m2 = 2.679 m2


Marla
1 Marla = 9 sq. Karam = 9 x (5.5)2 ft.2= 9 x 30.25 ft.2 = 272.24 ft.2

or

1 Marla = 9 sq. Karam = 9 x (1.67)2m2= 9 x 2.789m2 = 25.10 m2


Kanal
1 Kanal (K) = 20 Marla = 20 x 272.24 ft.2 = 5444.8 ft.2
1 Kanal (K) = 20 Marla = 20 x 25.10 m2 = 502 m2

(since, 1 Marla = 272.24 ft.2)

(since, 1 Marla = 25.10 m2)

1 Kanal (K) = 20 Marla = 20 x 9 sq. Karam = 180 sq. Karam

or
or

(since 1 Marla = 9 sq. Karam)

Bega
1 Bega (B) = 4 Kanal = 4 x 5444.8 ft.2 = 21779.2 ft.2
1 Bega (B) = 4 Kanal = 4 x 502 m2 = 2008 m2

(since, 1 Kanal = 5444.8 ft.2)

(since, 1 Kanal = 502 m2)

1 Bega (B) = 4 Kanal = 4 x 180 sq. Karam = 720 sq. Karam

or

or

(since, 1 Kanal = 180 sq. Karam)

Acre
1 Acre = 8 Kanal = 8 x 5444.8 ft.2 = 43560 ft.2
1 Acre = 8 Kanal = 8 x 502 m2 = 4016 m2
1 Acre = 8 Kanal = 8 x 180 sq. Karam = 1440 sq. Karam
or

(since, 1 Kanal = 5444.8 ft.2)

or

(since, 1 Kanal = 502 m2)

or

(since, 1 Kanal = 180 sq. Karam)

1 Acre = 2 Bega
Hectare
1 Hectare = 2.47 Acre
Murabba / Square
1

1 Square = 24 Acre
Lat
1 Lat = 15 Acre
1 Square (Murabba) = 24 Acre
