Struggle with Plot Size Conversion in Pakistan? Our Guide Will Help You Out (2024)

1. That is certainly helpful as it would clear many things. I personally use the properties section of Zameen.com for such calculations as you find properties as per square metres, marlas and kanals.

   1. if i have a plot 18 feet 6 inches width and 30.6 inch length. how many marla it will be if we locally call 272 sq for one marla. i have a confusion that simply multiply can be wrong .

      1. There will be not plot with a length of 30.6 Inch.

         If the same is 30 feet 6 inch then it would be almost 2.075 Malras considering 1 marla = 272 Sq. Feet…

         1. can we build a house on 5 marla plot with G/f,1/f,2/f,and roof???

      2. length x width / 272 = 1 marla
         18.50 x 30.50 = 2.075 marla

         1. But in lahore it should be divided by 225
            so
            length x width/225
            so 18.50 x 30.50 = 2.5077 marla.
            Disclaimer above calculation is for Lahore.

      3. 1.99 Marla

      4. one marla and 12sq ft

   2. Hi Medam,
      How r u, hope you are well, i want to share some thing with you, actually i purchase 1 plot 10 marla in al raheem garden phase 4, and also pay installments regular basis, but still i didn’t receive any positive response from society, could you please suggest me something regarding my Plot.

      Thanks
      Mujahid

      1. Do contact with NAB & LDA Society Registrar Office to know the exact position of Raheem Garden … they have declared many societies illegal … if it fall in Illegal list then report to NAB & FIA and recover your money … don’t late it will be waste of your money

2. In fsd there is 225,270 and 272 sqft per marla.
   may be in Lahore there is125 sqft per marla
   But Zameen.com is working for all pakistan
   People from different cities use this website…….

   1. Faisalabad’s 1 marla is the same as 225, 270 & 272 sqft? Don’t you find it confusing?

3. Very helpful post.
   Thanks for this.

   Regards,
   Zeeshan

4. I might be wrong but confused though. Please have a look at the topic heading. ” If 1 Marla = 125 Sq. Ft”, Is it so? or 1 Marla = 225 Sq. Ft.

5. Brother that is why they have mentioned in the title “if 1 marla = 225 sq. feet”. Zameen.com has defined the unit.

   Anyway, this post is pretty helpful. Keep up the good work.

6. In some cities 1 Marla= 225 SQ Feet and in other cities 1 Marla is =272, In islamabad
   DHA 1 Marla = 225 and in other areas 1 Marla = 272 Sq Feet.

7. This is great information. You haven’t mentioned Kanal in it. I always get confused in Marla and Kanal. I think it is 1kanal of 20 Marla or vice versa. Anyhow this is a great knowledge that everyone must have while dealing in buying and selling services of property. Thanks for sharing.

8. Ma sha Allah……………..Zameen.com is really playing brillient role in field of baying and selling services of property. Really appreciate of.

   Regards,

9. Thanks
   but not complete

10. Why multiple measuring units being used across Pakistan instead of defined standards like other countries
    The CDA measures at 225, Lahore & Faisalabad at 272

11. The marla was standardized under British rule to be equal to the square rod, or 272.25 square feet, 30.25 square yards, or 25.2929 square metres. As such, it was exactly one 160th of an acre. The definition of marla varies between India and Pakistan.

12. this is totally wrong information….. they are giving round figure… that is wrong for registries and transfer papers….. Objection will be raised on this measurement…. if you entered in any challan

13. 18.50 x 30.50 / 272 = 2.075 marla

14. But google search gives different conversion results, like 1 marla = 272.251 feet or 1 marla = 30.2501. Any one may try to search by google “marla equals to feet”. Others may guide with solid references.

41. What is sarsahi??

    1. Hi Amir,

       Sarsahi is a land measurement, which is 25 square feet in size. One marla comprises nine sarsahis.

42. For Muhammad Shahid and other beneficiaries :

    Total Square Feet 186*560 = 104,160
    If 1 Marla is 272.25 Square Feet then total Marlas of 104,160 square feet= (104,160/272.25) =382.586 Marlas
    Total Kanal if 1 Kanal is 20 Marlas = (382.586/20) = 19 Kanal 1 Marla
    Total Acres if 1 acres is 8 kanal= 2 Acres and 3 Kanal 1 Marla

43. How I can calculate the Marla’s of this Plot,
    If,
    Front side: 20 ft
    Back side : 50 ft
    Left side : 52 ft
    Right side: 22 ft

    Answer : 8 Marla 4 Sarsahi if measuring unit is 225 Sq Feet per Marla

    1. Hi Haris,
       That depends on the bylaws of the housing society or area where your plot is. Some societies allow this kind of division, while others don’t, so confirm it with the relevant authorities first.
