A land unit in Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh; 20 marla make one kanal. A marla is 272.25 sq ft in land records, but often 225 sq ft in sector plots.
In land records a marla is 272.25 sq ft (30.25 sq yd) and a kanal is 5,445 sq ft, but in many sector plots in Chandigarh, Panchkula and Mohali a marla is about 25 sq yd and a kanal about 500 sq yd. Because the size can differ, go by the area in square feet or yards written in the papers, not the marla count alone.
