Good to know
Is the bigha the same all over Punjab?
- Kanal (5,445 sq ft) and marla (272.25 sq ft) are the reliable units in Punjab. Use them when you can.
- No official bigha size for Punjab was found. Sources give either about 9,075 sq ft (4.8 to an acre) or 4 kanal (21,780 sq ft).
- Before consolidation, some districts used a different karam, so old marlas can be smaller. Check the jamabandi.
The numbers here are the commonly used sizes, for a quick estimate. For a sale, registry, loan or court matter, go by the area written in your land record (jamabandi, khatauni, 7/12 or patta), which is normally also given in hectare or acre, and ask the patwari or revenue office if your area uses a different bigha.
