Convert Square Yard to Inches

A unit of the imperial system, square yard became popular in every country where the British ruled. This is the reason why the usage of square yard is quite common in land measurement in urban areas of India and Pakistan despite the fact that square yard has over a period of time been replaced by the square meter in other parts of the world.

In several Indian states, in fact, local governments use square yard as the standard value while fixing circle rates in Rs per square yard. Circle rate a government-fixed value below which a property can’t be sold. In Haryana, for example, land rates in urban areas are fixed on a rupee per square yard basis by the state government.
