LAND MEASUREMENT BASICS

In Pakistan the traditional unit of land is Marla and the unit measurement of a marla is karam. Sometimes,
land/ plot is also measured in terms of Yards, meter and ”Gaz”.

The conversion of a marla is as follows:

 one ‘karam’ is equal to 5.5 feet

 one ‘Sq. Karam’ is called ‘One Sarsai’ = (5.5 x 5.5) = 30.25 Sq. feet
 one ‘marla’ is equal to 9 Sarsai = 9 x 30.25 Sq.ft = 272.25 Sq ft

However these days’ three different measurements are applied by various developing authorities/ private
housing schemes etc. The first being 272.25 sq.ft per marla which is normally used as standard for revenue
record, whereas the developing & Municipal authorities/ private housing schemes applied 250 sq.ft and 225
sq.ft per marla for calculating the size of their plots. The calculations for 225 sq.ft per marla is logical to
understand where as 250 sq.ft per marla is not commonly known. In case of 225 Sq.ft per marla the karam is
of 5 feet instead of 5.5 feet. As such the conversion of marla of 225 square feet appears to be as follows:

 one ‘karam’ is equal to 5 feet

 one ‘Sq. Karam’ is called ‘One Sarsai’ = (5 x 5) = 25 Sq. feet
 one ‘marla’ is equal to 9 Sarsai = 9 x 25 Sq.ft = 225 Sq ft

Similarly the standard land measurement exceeds as follows:

  one ‘kanaal’ is 20 marlas (5,445 sq ft) = 605 Sq.yard (Gaz)

 one ‘bigha’ is of 4 kanals (21780 sq. ft) = 4×605 = 2420 sq.yd. (gaz)
 one ‘killa’ is of 8 kanals = 8×605 = 4840sq.yd. (gaz)
 one ‘murabba’ is 25 killas (1,089,000 sq ft = 25 acres)
 1 hectare is 2.5 Acres

A killa or Acre is measured rectangularly, reckoned as an area 36 karams (198 ft) x 40 karams (220 ft)

(43,560 square ft). 5/8th of a Killa or Acre is known as Bigha

 1 Karam = 5.5 feet = 1.83 Yard or Gaz

 1 Yard or Gaz = 36 Inch = 0.91 Metre = 3 feet
 1 Sq Yard = 9 Sq Feet
 To convert Sq feet to Sq Yard = Divide by 9
 1 Marla is 30.25 Sq Yard ( 272.25 sq feet divide by 9 )
 1 Kanal is 605 sq Yard ( 5445 sq feet divide by 9)
 1 Acre is 4840 Sq Yard

EXAMPLES:

1. Plot size of 30X60 means a plot that has one side of 30 feet and the other side of 60 feet. As such, the
area of the plot of 30X60 size comes to 1,800 Sq.ft (30X60=1,800). We can convert Sq.ft into Sq,Yds
by dividing Sq.ft by 9. As in this example the total area of the plot is 1,800 Sq.ft and if we divide it by
9 the resulting figure of 200 will be sq.yds. For converting into meters the denominator would be
10.765 and the resulting figure would be in meters.

Now if we want to know the size of the plot in terms of marlas, all what we have to do is to divide the total
sq.ft by the size of one marla i.e., either 272.25, 250 or 225.

A comprehensive per marla conversion table is presented below for ready conversion and understanding.

Pakistan Property / Plot Size Conversions
Posted on 2014-10-24 12:26:31

A Marla is a traditional unit of land in most areas of Pakistan. The marla was standardized under British rule to be equal to the
272.25 square feet or 30.25 square yards, but now a days, three different plot measurements are in use in different
areas/housing schemes of Pakistan. In Cities like Lahore, Islamabad etc Marla is smaller (i.e 225 sq. ft.).
1 Marla can have three different sizes, it can be 272.25 sq ft, 250 sq ft, or 225 sq ft.
Sometimes Yard (Gaz in urdu) is used for land/plot measurement. Remember, 1 Yard = 3 feets
Here we present 3 tables converting Marla to Square Feet Conversion, Square Yards & Square Meters for help of land/plot
buyers in Pakistan.
