It\nexcludes the area covered by the external walls, areas under services shafts,\nexclusive balcony or verandah, and exclusive open terrace area. In addition, it includes the area covered by the internal partition\nwalls of the apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Built-up Area<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Built-up area is including a carpet area and the other areas\ncertified by the authorities, such as the area of an outer and inner wall, dry\nbalcony area, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Super built-up Area<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It includes the Carpet area with terrace and balconies and\nthe areas occupied by walls. It also includes common and shared construction,\nsuch as lift, stairs, and clubhouse. Mostly, builders use the loading factor on\na carpet area to arrive at the super built-up area. The super built-up area is\na saleable area as per RERA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Loading factor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference between the super built-up area and the\nflat&#8217;s carpet area is a loading factor. It is used to add constructed spaces\nthat are not exclusively allocated to the allottee. It mostly includes shared\nareas like lifts, lobbies, staircases, amenities, and a part of the terrace and\nbalcony. The loading factor of the 1.20 means &#8211; the builder has added 20% to\nthe carpet area. If a residential project does not have many amenities, the\nloading factor will be less. In most cases, a loading factor of the 1.30 is\nconsidered sufficient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Per square foot rate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a rate quoted by a builder. It is typically applied to\na super built-up area to determine the price of the flat. The important point\nis to mention here is that the per-square-foot rate of the flat is based on the\nsuper built-up area, which is called a saleable area as per RERA. It includes\nnot only the carpet area of the flat (i.e., the usable area inside the flat)\nbut also some additional areas of the apartment (like balcony and terrace area)\nand building complex (like lobbies, staircases, passages, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, one can ask the developer for a ratio of carpet area to the super built-up area. The higher the ratio of a carpet area to the super built-up area, the more space one will get inside the flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-left\"><b>Read our article<\/b>:<mark style=\"background: #fffd03 !important;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/guide-on-rera-registration-for-real-estate-agents\/\">Guide on RERA Registration for Real Estate Agents<\/a><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Carpet_area_under_RERA\"><\/span>Carpet area under RERA<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Saleable Area as per RERA is the Carpet area or a net usable\narea where one can spread a carpet. The built-up area includes a carpet area and\nthe extra areas certified by the authorities, for instance, the area of the\nouter &amp; inner walls, dry balcony area. The Super built-up area includes\nboth the carpet area, the built-up area, and also the share of the balance\narea, like stairs, lobbies and galleries, that can be used by the entire\nbuilding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/rera-registration\"><strong>RERA Registration<\/strong><\/a>, the carpet area is a net usable floor area of the apartment, which excludes the area covered by the external walls, areas under services shafts, the balcony, or verandah area and the open terrace area.

Furthermore,\nthey must know what part of the flat is included in the carpet area, and what\npart is excluded. Also, the developers will have to be more stringent in\nplanning their projects, to ensure an exact rendition of plans to the actual\ncarpet area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>There was a practice of including balcony,\nverandas, terrace, flower beds, and void spaces within the meaning of carpet\narea, by unscrupulous developers, that has now come to an end.<\/li><li>In some instances, corner apartments or other\nsuch apartments placed at certain advantageous or disadvantageous positions,\nwhich usually used to get a little more or less carpet area. In comparison, the\napartments at profitable positions with greater carpet areas were always priced\nat a premium. The ones who lost some carpeted area were never sold at a\ndiscount, as the &#8216;missing&#8217; carpet area was usually obfuscated in the super\nbuilt-up area.<\/li><li>Excellent design and efficiency have now become\ncrucial. Previously, an inefficient design, which used too much of common area\nspace, would fare the same as a good design, as both could have the same super\nbuilt-up area, but different carpet areas.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The price of a flat is usually based on its saleable area as per RERA. However, there are many ways where one can interpret and calculate a saleable area. The saleable area as per RERA has a significant impact on the actual area that one gets, and the total buying price. However, the maximum number of cases registered in consumer courts is against the developers on the issue of cheating regarding the size of a flat.
