Square yard to square meter: 1 square yard = 0.8361 square meter, and 1 square meter = 1.196 square yard. In Hindi terms, 1 varg gaj (वर्ग गज) is about 0.8361 varg meter (वर्ग मीटर).
Where the two units collide
Plots in north India and in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are usually sold in gaj or square yards. A square yard in land deals is the same as a gaj: 9 sq ft. Metric units, on the other hand, are what many registration offices, development plans and revenue records use. Karnataka registrations, for example, increasingly show square meters. So a buyer often sees "200 gaj" in the ad and a square meter figure on the papers.
How to convert
Both units are fixed exactly. A yard is 0.9144 m, so one square yard is 0.9144 × 0.9144 = 0.83612736 square meter.
Square meters = square yards × 0.8361
Example: a 200 gaj plot is 200 × 0.8361 = 167.2255 sq m.
Square yards = square meters × 1.196
Example: a registry shows 150 sq m. 150 × 1.196 = 179.3985 sq yd.

A quick check you can do in your head
A square meter is about one fifth bigger than a square yard. So to check a figure, add one fifth to the square meters and then trim a little. For 100 sq m, one fifth more is 120; the exact answer is 119.599 sq yd. For the other direction, take away about one sixth: 300 sq yd minus one sixth is 250, and the exact figure is 250.8382 sq m. Always use the exact rule for any paper you sign.
Both units in square feet
- 1 square yard (gaj) = 9 sq ft
- 1 square meter = 10.7639 sq ft
- 100 sq m = 1,076.391 sq ft; 100 gaj = 900 sq ft
Tips
- Do not confuse square meter with "meter". A plot is never measured in plain meters; a side length is.
- Keep at least two decimals when the price is quoted per square yard, because small gaps add up on a large plot.
- Check the area on the sale deed and the land record. If the ad and the deed differ, the deed and the record matter.
- For a sale or a dispute, confirm the measurement with the local revenue or registration office.
