A kanal is a unit of area used in the Indian Subcontinent. It is primarily used in northern India and Pakistan.
Under British rule, the marla and kanal were standardized so that the kanal equals 605 square yards or 1⁄8 acre (0.051 ha), roughly equivalent to 506 square metres. A kanal is equal to 20 marlas.[1]
