How the conversion works

Square feet = gaj × 9, because a yard is 3 feet and a square yard is 3 × 3. Square metres = gaj × 0.83612736, from the exact definition 1 yard = 0.9144 m.

In north India, residential plots are sold by the gaj, so a “200 gaj ka plot” is 1,800 sq ft of land. Built-up flat sizes, by contrast, are usually quoted in square feet.
