How the conversion works

Square feet = marla × 272.25. Haryana’s land records define it from the karam (5.5 ft): 1 sarsai = 1 square karam = 30.25 sq ft, 9 sarsai = 1 marla, 20 marla = 1 kanal, 8 kanal = 1 acre.

Some housing schemes, notably in Pakistan, use a smaller marla of 225 or 250 sq ft; when a contract says marla, check which one it means.
