Q:What is the difference in formula for calculation of Maharashtra Ownership of Flat Act (MOFA) based carpet area and Maharashtra RERA based carpet area with regards to new residential flat in Mumbai?
Latest Answer: According to the RERA, carpet area is defined as the net usable floor area of an apartment, excluding the area covered by the external walls, areas under services shafts, exclusive balcony or verandah area and exclusive open terrace area, but includes the area covered by the internal partition walls of the apartment. A similar provision exists in MOFA with the difference that the percentage prescribed is 20 percent in place of 10 percent in RERA.
