Carpet Area Checker
What carpet area are you actually getting?
Builders quote super built-up area, but you only live on the carpet. Enter what you have been quoted and see the real usable area — and what your rate works out to per square foot of carpet.
Ask the builder directly. If they will not state it, work it back from the carpet area on the RERA portal.

Same total price of ₹1,07,25,000 — but measured against the area you can actually use, the rate is ₹1,950 / sq ft higher than quoted. Compare two projects on this number, not the headline rate.
Under RERA, carpet area must be disclosed. Section 2(k) of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 defines carpet area as the net usable floor area within the walls, excluding the exclusive balcony and open terrace areas but including internal partition walls. For a registered project, the declared carpet area is on your state RERA portal — check it against what you have been told verbally.
