Magicbricks Moderator says: Property-related terms can confuse many. Often users are confused between terms like carpet area, plinth area, built-up area and super built-up area. These terms are used widely by developers to define the area space being offered in their property.
Do you understand the terms carpet area and built-up area?
- Yes
- No

carpet area is the actual usable area which the user gets to use. Built-up area consists of area outside your house, staircase, elevator, etc which can constitute upto 25% of the area.
Example if you buy a 1000 sq.ft built-up area, you will actually get to use only 750 sq.ft.
Super built-up is area for the parapet, podium, garden,etc, all of which is charged at market price and can constitute upto 40% of the area.
It is ILLEGAL to sell property at anything other than carpet area because while developing the land, the developer is not charged FSI for the built-up area, garden, parking space,etc. So if anyone is charging you for anything other than carpet area you have a right to complain to a redressal forum like consumer protection.
