So, without any further ado, let’s start with the definition of Square Meter.

What is Square Meter?

Square Meter is a metric unit used for measuring the area of the land. Technically, it refers to the area of a single square with each side equating to one meter.

It is used globally for mapping various spaces of a two-dimensional nature. These consist of entire floors, fields, and more.

Since it’s the standard global unit for the measurement of area, Square Meter is used extensively throughout the contemporary real estate industry. Square Meter can be represented as m² or Sq. M.

Current Use of Square Meter

A Square Meter is used for measuring the area of rooms, plots, and also houses. It is used in the U.S. and India along with the United Kingdom (UK) and also Canada, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Liberia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Ghana, Pakistan, Nepal, and Myanmar among several others.

What is Marla?

Marla is one of the most significant measurement units for land and is popular in various parts of India, including north Indian states such as Punjab and Haryana.

Although the unit isn’t as popular as that of the Gaj and Bigha. Haryana and Punjab work on the conjecture that a Karam will equal 5.5 feet and that a Marla will be equivalent to 9 Square Karam.

A Marla works out to 9 Sarsahi whereas 20 Marlas will be equivalent to a Kanal as per the prevailing framework. There is the big Marla and small Marla, equating to various sizes in several parts of India.

The small Marla works out to 225 square feet, however, the big Marla works out to 272.25 square feet. A Marla is also known to be the 160th portion of a single Acre and a Cent will work out to 1.60 Marla.

A Marla will thus be equal to 0.002529285264 hectares and also 0.00625 acres in total. 1 Marla will also be the same as 0.00002529285264 square kilometers or 25.29285264  Square Meters.

Current Use of Marla

Marla is used in various parts of South Asia, including both Pakistan and Bangladesh for land measurement. The latter uses the same calculation framework and sizes as India while the former has Marla denoting 225 square feet and 272 square feet in various areas.

At the time of British rule in the country, the Indian Marla was offered a standardized value of 272.25 square feet or 25.2929 Square Meters. It was also deemed equivalent to 30.25 square yards.
