What is RERA carpet area?

For a registered project, buyers should pay close attention to the carpet-area figure disclosed under the RERA framework. MahaRERA requires project information and sold or booked inventory to be disclosed on a carpet-area basis, helping purchasers compare homes on a more consistent measure.

Built-up and super built-up area

Built-up area can include carpet area plus certain wall and other areas. Super built-up or saleable area can additionally allocate a share of common areas. Terminology can vary, so the agreement and project disclosures matter more than a marketing label.

Why carpet area matters when comparing Mumbai projects

Imagine two 2 BHK homes with the same headline price. If one gives you materially more usable carpet area, the effective cost per sq.ft. is different. Compare carpet area, layout efficiency, balcony or deck areas, room dimensions, storage and natural light—not just the brochure’s saleable number.

Questions to ask the sales team

Ask for the RERA registration number, carpet area, sanctioned plan, floor plan, exact parking arrangement, balcony or deck treatment, common-area allocation and agreement wording. If a number changes between the brochure, cost sheet and agreement, reconcile the difference before booking.
