Marla is a traditional land unit used across Pakistan and North India (Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh). To convert an area in square feet into marla you divide by the size of one marla — which depends on the standard: the traditional marla is 272.25 square feet (Lahore, Faisalabad, Indian Punjab), while the modern CDA standard is 225 square feet (Islamabad, Karachi). Pick the right one above for an accurate conversion.

Square feet, marla and kanal
20 marla make 1 kanal, so once you have the marla figure you can divide by 20 for kanal. The most common residential plots are 5, 10 and 20 marla. Because the marla differs by city and authority, always confirm which standard applies before a property deal.
