Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP-RERA) has directed all promoters to ensure sale of units/ apartments according to ‘carpet area only’.
As per the provisions of the RERA Act and other legal agreements/ contracts, there is no justification for ‘super area’.Sale of units/ apartments on this basis will be considered illegal and according to the provisions of RERA Act, buying and selling of apartments is legal only on the basis of carpet area.
Sanjay Bhoosreddy, chairman, UP-RERA said, “there is no abbreviation or definition of super area in the RERA Act. It is indeed necessary for allottees to consider carpet area as the actual area of the unit/ apartment and pay the promoter according to this area.”
For agreement for sale between promoter and allottee, a model agreement for sale has been provided on the UP-RERA portal, which is also based on carpet area.
In this way, selling apartments/ units on the base of super area is contrary to the provisions of the RERA Act.
