How the Marla, Kanal and Square Feet Converter (Pakistan Land Units) works
A kanal is always 20 marla, but the marla itself varies. Most modern housing societies use 225 sq ft per marla, so a 10-marla plot is 2,250 sq ft and 1 kanal is 4,500 sq ft. Land revenue records and older parts of Lahore use 272.25 sq ft per marla (1 kanal = 5,445 sq ft).
Always confirm which definition the society or the property documents use before comparing prices.
