About this app

Paimaish converts between Punjab & Haryana land-revenue units and standard measures — accurately, offline, and in your language.

If you've ever tried to convert a land record written in Kanal-Marla, or a deed that says "3 Bigha 8 Biswa," into Acres or Square Feet, you know generic unit converters get it wrong. The size of a Bigha, Biswa, Killa or Ghumaon depends on the local Karam length — and that varies by Punjab tract or Haryana settlement era. Paimaish is built directly from real regional land-measurement records, not a generic conversion table.

REGION-ACCURATE, NOT GENERIC
• Select your Punjab tract (Majha, Doaba, Kapurthala, Fazilka, Ropar, Patiala/Nabha/Malerkotla, Ludhiana, Jind) or Haryana settlement system, and every legacy figure — Bigha, Biswa, Biswansi, Sarsahi, Ghumaon, Killa, Vadda Killa — updates to the correct local Karam.
• Modern units — Marla, Kanal, Acre — always use the fixed standard figures, exactly as land offices use them.
• Also converts to and from Sq. Meter, Hectare, Sq. Yard, Sq. Feet and Sq. Inch.

FIVE WAYS TO ENTER A RECORD
• Single Unit — one value, converted into every unit at once.
• Kanal & Marla — enter a record the way it's actually written.
• Legacy Units — Bigha, Biswa & Biswansi together.
• Rate per Unit — enter a price per unit and see the equivalent price in every other unit.
• Calculator — add or subtract two Kanal-Marla or Bigha-Biswa-Biswansi records, for combining a purchase with an existing holding or splitting off a sold portion.

BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY WORK
• Pin the units you check most so they're always visible.
• Tap any result to see the exact step-by-step math behind it — never a black box.
• Every conversion is saved to a browsable, shareable history.
• Share any conversion as plain text.
• A detailed reference table explains exactly why figures vary by district and era.
