Noida Buyers: Check Carpet Area on UPRERA Before You Sign
UP RERA urges property buyers to verify actual carpet area on the regulator's portal rather than relying on super area claims.
Noida real-estate news brief. Originally reported on 11 June 2026 by The Economic Times. Figures are attributed to the source report; verify project-specific facts with the source and official portals before acting.
Carpet area is the usable space you actually own; super area includes common areas. Checking UPRERA's official records protects you from overpaying for inflated space claims and ensures your investment matches the legal documentation.
Why does carpet area matter more than super area?
Carpet area is the net usable floor space inside your apartment walls - what you actually live in or rent out. Super area adds common spaces like corridors, lobbies, and lift shafts. Your price per square foot should be calculated on carpet area, not super area, since you don't own the commons. Developers sometimes emphasize super area to inflate apparent unit size and justify higher prices. UP RERA's alert signals that buyers have been misled by this practice.
How do you verify the exact carpet area on UPRERA?
Log into the UP RERA official portal with your project registration number or developer name, then cross-check the approved plan's carpet area against your agreement and brochure. The UPRERA record is the legal truth. Before signing any agreement, demand a site visit with scaled drawings and written clarification of what you're paying per square foot. If the developer's claim differs from UPRERA's filed data, do not proceed until both align. Read the full advisory on The Economic Times for step-by-step verification steps.
