MR. KUSHAN VYAS-IS THAT MEAN A FLAT IS IN AN APARTMENT?

@payal nandi

No.

Apartment  includes flats.

KUSHAN VYAS-THANK YOU...

in my opinion both are same but when a particular scheme is submitted to the provisions of Maharashtra Apartment Ownership Act, 1970, the Unit sold is being called as " apartment" and the Sale deed exeucted is known as " Deed of Apartment"

Flat and Apartment are both same.  Only difference is that British people use the term "Flat" and Americans use "Apartment"

So, if britisher use the word flat and american use the word apartment then what indians use the word for their house

Some people say  "kho-lee",   some say  "room",   some say  "makan"
