Whereas under section 2 k of the real estate regulation and development act 2016 carpet area of the apartment to be sold by the promoter is defined as carpet area means net usable floor area of an apartment excluding the area covered by the external walls area under services shafts exclusive balcony or verandah area and exclusive open terrace area but including the area covered by the internal partition walls of the apartment.
