Kanal, Marla and Gaj — Quick Table
| Unit | Gaj (sq yd) | Sq ft | Sq m |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Marla | 30.25 | 272.25 | 25.29 |
| 1 Kanal (20 Marla) | 605 | 5,445 | 505.86 |
| 1 Acre (8 Kanal) | 4,840 | 43,560 | 4,046.86 |
These are the standard revenue-record values used in Punjab, Haryana and the Kanal–Marla areas of Himachal. Some municipal and colony layouts use a smaller 225 sq ft marla — if your registry mentions sq ft, trust that figure.
Bigha to Square Feet — Why It Changes by State
"Bigha" is not one fixed size. The same word means about 8,712 sq ft in Himachal Pradesh, 12,000 sq ft in Madhya Pradesh, 14,400 sq ft in West Bengal and Assam, and around 27,000 sq ft (pucca bigha) in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Rajasthan. Even within a state, older records and districts can differ. Pick your state above for the right conversion, and for any sale or registry go by the area written in the Jamabandi / Khatauni or the sale deed.
In Himachal, revenue records usually write area as Bigha–Biswa–Biswansi (20 Biswansi = 1 Biswa, 20 Biswa = 1 Bigha). Choose "Himachal Pradesh" and the converter includes Biswansi.
