The unit
How kanal and marla fit together
A kanal is the larger unit of the Punjab–Haryana system: 20 marla make a kanal, and 8 kanal make an acre (a killa in Punjab and Haryana). Because the kanal is defined as 20 marla, the kanal-to-marla ratio never changes; only the square-foot size does.
In gaj, a revenue kanal is 605 gaj and an urban kanal 500 gaj — useful when a buyer thinks in gaj and the seller in kanal.

Questions
Frequently asked.
How many kanal make one acre?
With the revenue standard, 8 kanal make one acre of 43,560 sq ft, the unit called a killa in Punjab and Haryana. With the urban marla the kanal is smaller, so an acre would hold 9.68 kanal; farm land is measured with the revenue standard.
How do I write 27 marla in kanal and marla?
Divide by 20: 27 marla is 1 kanal and 7 marla, because 20 marla make the first kanal and 7 are left over. Going the other way, multiply the kanal by 20 and add the marla — 3 kanal 4 marla is 64 marla.
Does the kanal-to-marla ratio change between Punjab and Haryana?
No. One kanal is 20 marla in Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and the other places that use the system. What can change is the marla itself — 272.25 sq ft on revenue records or 225 sq ft in many urban schemes — and with it the kanal's size in square feet.
