How to convert acres to marla

Multiply the number of acres by 160. For example, 5 acres × 160 = 800 marla.

Every land unit is a fixed number of square feet: 1 acre = 43,560 sq ft and 1 marla = 272.25 sq ft. Dividing the first by the second gives the conversion factor.

What is an acre?

One acre is 43,560 square feet, or about 4,047 square metres. It is the most widely understood farmland unit in India and abroad.

Where it’s used: Farmland across India.

What is a marla?

The revenue marla is 272.25 square feet (one twentieth of a kanal). Some towns use a smaller urban marla of about 225 square feet for house plots, so always ask which one is meant.

Where it’s used: Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir.

Which figure should you trust in a dispute?

Conversions help you understand and compare; they don’t change what your record says. Trust the area in your record of rights and the survey map. If the land on the ground looks smaller than the record, the next step is a demarcation by the revenue office — and if you live abroad, satellite monitoring can flag field-scale change if a neighbour starts using your land.
