How to convert marla to square yards (gaj)

Multiply the number of marla by 30.25. For example, 5 marla × 30.25 = 151.25 square yards (gaj).

Every land unit is a fixed number of square feet: 1 marla = 272.25 sq ft and 1 square yard (gaj) = 9 sq ft. Dividing the first by the second gives the conversion factor.

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.

What is a square yard (gaj)?

A square yard, called gaj in north India, is exactly 9 square feet. Dealers often quote plot sizes in gaj, for example a 200-gaj plot.

Where it’s used: Urban plots in Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, UP and Hyderabad.

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.
