Gaj to Marla Converter

Convert gaj to marla. Gaj is the square yard, so 30.25 gaj make 1 marla on the traditional standard or 25 gaj make 1 marla on the modern CDA standard — pick the one used in your area.

Quick answer: 100 gaj = 3.31 marla on the traditional standard (÷ 30.25) or 4 marla on the modern CDA standard (÷ 25). Gaj means square yard.

Gaj and marla are both used to quote land across North India and Pakistan. Gaj is simply the square yard (9 square feet). Because a marla is 272.25 sq ft on the traditional standard and 225 sq ft on the modern CDA standard, one marla equals 30.25 gaj (traditional) or 25 gaj (modern). To go from gaj to marla you divide by that figure. Enter your gaj above and pick the standard for an exact figure.

How many marla is 100 gaj? On the traditional standard, 100 ÷ 30.25 = 3.3058 marla (900 square feet). On the modern CDA standard it is 100 ÷ 25 = 4 marla.

Gaj, marla and square feet

Since 1 gaj = 9 square feet, the two standards come straight from the marla's size: 272.25 ÷ 9 = 30.25 gaj per marla, and 225 ÷ 9 = 25 gaj per marla. Twenty marla make one kanal, so 605 gaj (traditional) or 500 gaj (modern) equal one kanal. Always confirm which standard your city or revenue records use before a property deal.
