Use this page when you need to convert a plot advertised in marla into kanal for comparison with larger residential, agricultural or development land.
The Punjab Settlement Manual records 20 marla per kanal. Different housing-scheme marla sizes affect square-foot area, but 20 marla still make one kanal within the selected scheme convention.
