Because square yard and gaj are the same unit, plot sizes advertised in either are directly comparable, and both convert to square feet by multiplying by 9. Property listings often mix the two — a plot in "square yards" and a flat's built-up area in "square feet" — so this conversion comes up constantly when comparing land to a finished home.
