CALCULATIONS OF “CARPET AREA” UNDER MAHARERA ACT

“Carpet Area” means 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.

Explanation: –

For the purpose of this clause, the expression “exclusive balcony or veranda area” means the area of the balcony or veranda, which is appurtenant to the net usable floor area of an apartment, meant for the exclusive use of the allottee and “exclusive open terrace area” means the area of open terrace which is appurtenant to the net usable floor area of an apartment, meant for the exclusive use of the allottee.

Whereas there are various interpretations being given to the words “internal partition walls” and “external walls” by different professionals and architects and therefore there is need to clarify the terms “internal partition walls” and “external walls” in order to have uniformity in the calculation of carpet area of an apartment across all the projects being registered with MahaRERA.

For the purpose of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act ,2016, “walls” would mean walls made of reinforced cement concrete (RCC) OR plain concrete or shear wall or wall made from bricks or blocks or precast materials or drywalls made of any material or composition of one or more of any of the materials and shall include column within or adjoining or attached to the wall.

Therefore, for the purpose of calculation of carpet area under clause 2(k) of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act ,2016,

All walls which are constructed or provided on the external face of an apartment shall be regarded as “external wall”

All walls or independent columns constructed or provide within an apartment shall be regarded as “internal partition wall” An illustration is attached herewith for clarification of the walls which are to be considered as “External walls” and “internal partition walls” with respect to an apartment and also of the area to be included and excluded while calculating carpet area of an apartment.
