Why Land Measurement Varies by Region
In Pakistan, the Punjab Land Revenue Act standardizes land measurement with 1 Kanal = 20 Marla and 1 Marla = 272.25 square feet. However, some regions like Sindh may use slightly different standards. Always confirm with local land records or a certified surveyor for legal transactions.
Internationally, agricultural land is typically measured in Hectares (used by FAO, World Bank, and most countries) or Acres (common in the US, UK, and some Commonwealth nations).
