Kanal (unit)
A kanal is a unit of area used in parts of northern India and in Pakistan.
Under British rule the marla and kanal were standardized so that the kanal equals exactly 605 square yards or 1⁄8 acre (0.051 ha); this is equivalent to about 505.857 square metres (5,445.00 sq ft). A kanal is equal to 20 marlas.[1]
