What is RERA Carpet Area?
The Carpet Area refers to the actual usable space within the walls of an apartment. It does not include the thickness of the walls, balconies, terraces, or any shared external areas such as elevators or staircases. The term RERA Carpet Area was introduced to clarify and prevent developers from providing misleading information regarding the size of a property.
How is RERA Carpet Area Calculated?
To calculate the RERA Carpet Area, follow these steps:
- Measure the floor area of each room, including the living room, bedrooms, kitchen, and so on.
- Sum the floor areas of all the rooms, making sure to exclude non-usable spaces such as walls, balconies, and shared areas.
- The final figure represents the usable area within the apartment, known as the RERA Carpet Area.
