How to use the Biswa to Marla Calculator (Punjab Pakistan)

Old land records in Punjab are written in biswa, but buyers think in marla — and the two are easy to confuse because Indian conversion sites use different standards. In Punjab, Pakistan, one marla equals 20 biswa, so a biswa is a small unit worth just 0.05 marla. This biswa to marla calculator uses the Punjab standard only, converting instantly between biswa, marla, kanal and square feet so you can read a fard or registry document and know the real size in modern units.

  1. Type the biswa figure from your land record into the amount box.
  2. Confirm Biswa (Punjab) is selected in the From dropdown.
  3. Read the result in Marla on the big result line.
  4. Change the To dropdown to Kanal or Square feet for other units.

Formula

Punjab standard: 1 marla = 20 biswa = 272.25 sq ft. Marla = biswa ÷ 20. 1 kanal = 20 marla.

Worked example

A fard shows 140 biswa. Converting: 140 × 0.05 = 7 marla exactly — a standard 7-marla plot. In square feet that is 7 × 272.25 = 1,905.75 sq ft. Keep the fard copy with your file, since patwari entries in biswa are the legal record if a boundary dispute arises later.
