Carpet Area

Hi, I think Bombay High Court give judgement about carpet area.

carpet area means what?

There is a G.O dated 20th Aug 2008 and publication in official gazette dated 12th MAy 2008 to sought amendment in Section 3(2) of MOFA Act whereby builders are directed to sell flats by carpet area only and carpet area to include the area of the balcony.

Please let me know if you know which high court judgment (citation) is passed in this regard ?

@jyotirmaya: A carpet area is total usable area of the apartment/commercial space that doesnot include the area of the walls .i.e. the area of tha apartment that a carpet can cover.

thnx sir..

I am not aware of any such Govt notification but I am sure that the builders take advantage in calculation the built up areas at their advantage thereby cheating the buyers, some also cheat by giving false carpet areas. Some calculate built up 1:1.20 and some builders read it as 1:1.40, you must read the agreement carefully.
