- 1 kanal equals approximately 605.01 gaj
- Formula: gaj = kanal × 605.01
- Kanal is used for land and property measurement in areas where this unit applies

How do you convert kanal to gaj?
Multiply the area in kanal by 605.01 to convert it into gaj.
Formula: Gaj = Kanal × 605.01
For example, if a property measures 3 kanal:
3 × 605.01 = 1,815.03 gaj
Therefore, 3 kanal = 1,815.03 gaj.
The calculation expresses the same land area in another unit. It does not change the actual size of the property.
How does the kanal to gaj calculation work?
The calculation involves multiplying the number of kanal by 605.01. You can use the same formula for whole-number and decimal kanal values.
| Area in kanal | Calculation | Area in gaj |
|---|---|---|
| 1 kanal | 1 × 605.01 | 605.01 gaj |
| 2 kanal | 2 × 605.01 | 1,210.02 gaj |
| 3 kanal | 3 × 605.01 | 1,815.03 gaj |
| 5 kanal | 5 × 605.01 | 3,025.05 gaj |
| 10 kanal | 10 × 605.01 | 6,050.10 gaj |
Suppose Rohit is looking for a 3-kanal residential property in a region where the land area is recorded in kanal. He wants to express the same measurement in gaj for comparison with another property.
Input: 3 kanal
Conversion factor: 605.01 gaj per kanal
Calculation: 3 × 605.01 = 1,815.03 gaj
Result: 3 kanal = 1,815.03 gaj
The conversion helps Rohit compare the area using the same unit. For a property transaction or formal documentation, he should compare the calculated figure with the measurement recorded in the applicable property document.
How do you convert gaj back to kanal?
Divide the area in gaj by 605.01 to convert it back to kanal.
Formula:
Kanal = Gaj ÷ 605.01
For example, if a property measures 1,210.02 gaj:
1,210.02 ÷ 605.01 = 2 kanal
Therefore, 1,210.02 gaj = 2 kanal.
The reverse calculation can help you check whether a gaj measurement corresponds to a stated kanal measurement.
How can an area conversion calculator help?
An area conversion calculator can reduce manual calculations when it supports the required units. It can be useful when you need to convert several land measurements or check a calculation.
To convert kanal to gaj using a calculator that supports both units:
- Select kanal as the starting unit.
- Select gaj as the target unit.
- Enter the area in kanal.
- Apply the conversion.
- Review the result and compare it with your original property measurement.
For example, entering 5 kanal using the conversion factor of 605.01 gaj per kanal gives: 5 × 605.01 = 3,025.05 gaj
For formal property decisions, compare the converted figure with the area stated in the relevant property document.

Where are kanal and gaj commonly used?
Kanal and gaj are traditional area units that can appear in property and land measurements in regions where these units are used.
| Unit | Common use |
|---|---|
| Kanal | Larger land and property measurements |
| Gaj | Plot and property measurements where gaj is the local area unit |
A property document, local listing or land-related discussion may use kanal, while another document may express the same area in gaj.
Converting the measurement can help you compare the areas using one unit. However, the original unit and measurement should be retained when reviewing property records.
When should you use kanal or gaj?
Use the unit that matches the property document, local measurement convention or purpose of your calculation.
Use kanal when:
- The property area is recorded in kanal.
- You need to review land measurements stated in kanal.
- You are comparing properties described using kanal.
Use gaj when:
- You need to express the same area in gaj.
- A property listing or comparison uses gaj.
- You need to compare measurements stated in gaj.
For formal property decisions, retain the original measurement and use the applicable property or land record as the reference.
How does kanal compare with other area units?
Kanal can be expressed in other area units when a property measurement needs to be compared across different measurement systems.
| Conversion | Value |
|---|---|
| 1 kanal | 605.01 gaj |
| 1 kanal | 5,445.09 sq. ft. |
| 5 kanal | 3,025.05 gaj |
| 5 kanal | 27,225.45 sq. ft. |
The gaj and square-foot figures above are calculated using the conversion factor of 1 kanal = 605.01 gaj and the commonly used relationship of 1 gaj = 9 sq. ft. These conversions can help when property measurements are recorded using different units. When comparing land records, retain the original measurement and use the converted value only for comparison or calculation.
How can land area affect property valuation?
Land area can form part of the information considered when assessing a property's value. Converting kanal to gaj can help you check whether different documents or property listings describe the same physical area.
Accurate area measurement can support:
- Comparing property areas
- Reviewing plot size
- Checking property documents
- Understanding valuation information
- Comparing measurements across different records
Area alone does not determine property value. Other factors can also affect valuation, including the property's location, type, permitted use, access, condition and applicable property considerations. If you are considering property-backed borrowing, the property's area is only one part of the assessment. The property, its documents and its valuation are assessed separately.
Can land measurement affect a loan against property?
Yes. Accurate property measurement can support the assessment of a property offered as security for a loan against property. A kanal-to-gaj conversion can help you understand or compare the area when different property documents use different units. However, the conversion itself does not determine loan eligibility, the eligible loan amount or approval.
A property-backed loan assessment can involve factors such as:
- Property area and type
- Property location
- Ownership and property documents
- Legal and technical aspects
- Property valuation
- Income and repayment capacity
You can review loan against property interest rates when assessing borrowing costs. You can also use the loan against property EMI calculator to estimate repayments based on the applicable loan amount, interest rate and tenure. If you are considering property-backed finance, you can check eligibility for a loan against property with Bajaj Finance.

Property and valuation
Is 1 kanal equal to 1 gaj?
No. Kanal and gaj are different area units. Using the conversion factor on this page, 1 kanal equals 605.01 gaj. Therefore, 1 kanaland 605.01 gaj describe the same physical area when expressed using this conversion relationship.
Where is kanal commonly used in India?
Kanal is encountered in land and property measurement in parts of India where this traditional area unit is used. Its use can depend on local measurement practices and property records. If a property document states the area in kanal, you can convert it to gaj when another property measurement uses gaj.
Is gaj a standard unit for property measurement?
Gaj is used in property and plot measurement in parts of India. Its use can vary by local practice. When a property is recorded in gaj, you can convert the measurement into kanal using the applicable conversion factor for comparison. For formal property decisions, use the unit and area stated in the relevant property record.
How do you convert gaj to kanal?
Divide the area in gaj by 605.01. For example, 3,025.05 gaj ÷ 605.01 = 5 kanal. You can use the same formula for other gaj measurements. The reverse conversion is useful when a document uses gaj while the land is described in kanal.
How many gaj are there in 200 kanal?
Using 1 kanal = 605.01 gaj, multiply 200 by 605.01.
200 × 605.01 = 121,002 gaj
Therefore, 200 kanal = 121,002 gaj using the conversion factor on this page. The calculation changes only the unit used to express the area; the physical size of the land remains the same.
Why convert kanal to gaj?
Conversion can help when a property is described locally in kanal but a plan, property listing, valuation document or property comparison uses gaj. Expressing both measurements in the same unit makes it easier to compare the stated areas and check whether different records describe the same physical land area.
Does converting kanal to gaj change the property area?
No. Conversion only expresses the same physical area in another measurement unit. For example, 1 kanal and605.01 gaj describe the same area using the conversion factor on this page. The size of the property itself does not change.
Does kanal-to-gaj conversion decide loan eligibility?
No. Kanal-to-gaj conversion only expresses property area in another unit. It does not determine loan eligibility or the eligible loan amount. For property-backed finance, a lender separately assesses property valuation, ownership and legal documents, property type and location, income, credit profile, repayment capacity and other applicable eligibility conditions.
