Carpet area is nothing but the area that can be covered by a carpet and excludes the thickness of pillars and inner walls. Common areas are also not included in the carpet area. Earlier, many a time, builders would include balcony, terrace, verandas, flower beds and void spaces under the term carpet area. However, after the RERA compliance, it has become mandatory for all the builders and developers to abide by the definition of carpet area (by RERA), ‘the net usable floor area of an apartment, excluding the area covered by the external walls, areas under services shafts, exclusive balcony or verandah area and exclusive open terrace area, but includes the area covered by the internal partition walls of the apartment’.

Earlier builders used to include walls, pillars, balcony, dry area, utilities, and other thickness of the house under carpet area.  The new definition of carpet area under the real estate regulation and development act, 2016 states that carpet area will be calculated as anything covered within the internal walls of an apartment, excluding balcony, open area, and common areas of the building such as staircase or lobby. RERA carpet area is the area = Actual carpet area + Thickness of internal walls. Now it is mandatory for builders to describe the carpet area of the property before registering the sale deed.
