Maund (Mann)·من

Roman Urdu: Man / Mann / Maund

The traditional Pakistani weight unit used in mandis. 1 maund = 40 kg in most of Pakistan (Punjab, Sindh, KPK). Some regions use a 37.3 kg maund (legacy 'pakka mann') or 40-seer variants. Pakka Khata supports configurable maund definitions per mandi.

Example usage

Example: Maund (Mann) is recorded in the daily mandi khata so party balances and settlement details remain clear.

Frequently asked: Maund (Mann)

Is maund the same as quintal?+

No. Quintal = 100 kg. Maund = 40 kg in Pakistan. 1 quintal = 2.5 maund (Pakistan).

Why do different regions use different maunds?+

Historical. Pre-partition each district had its own standard. After standardisation, 40 kg became dominant but some commodities (sugar, dates) retain local variants.

How do I configure mandi-specific maund in Pakka Khata?+

Settings → Units → Maund Definition → enter the kg value for your mandi. Applied to every lot in that mandi.
