The Punjab Plain is a large alluvial plain in Eastern Pakistan and Northwestern India. The plain includes the Pakistani province of Punjab and the Indian states of Punjab and Haryana and is around 38,300 square miles (99,000 km²) in area. This plain is around 200–300 meters high. The plain is extensively farmed for cereals and cotton.^[1]

The plain is the western part of the North Indian River Plain in Pakistan and Western India formed by the Indus River and its tributaries - Jhelum, the Chenab, the Ravi, the Beas and the Sutlej. The larger part of the Punjab plain lies in Pakistan.

The land formed of alluvium in between two rivers known as Doab is found here.

Bhangar : The flood plains formed due to deposition of older alluvium is known as Bhangar.

Bet : The flood plains seen here which are formed due to repeated deposition of new alluvium during each flood is known as Bet. The plains are in the plain biomes
