As a matter of fact one Kanal is actually equal to 20 Marlas or 605 Sq Yards or 5445 Sq Feet. But in our societies, a new scheme is defined which is absolutely contrary to the true measurements. What our societies / authorities are presently following is as follows: 1 Kanal = 500 Sq Yds 1 Kanal = 20 Marlas Therefore 20 Marlas = 500 Sq Yds 1 Marla = 25 Sq Yds 1 Marla = 25 (3X3) Sq Feet = 225 Sq Feet So if you want to convert Sq Yds into Marla then simply divide (____) Sq Yds by 25. For example you are being offered 1000 Sq Yds then divide 1000 by 25 which is equal to 40 Marlas.
