The area a builder or seller charges for. Before RERA it usually meant super built-up area; for a registered project, the price must now be stated against carpet area.
How it works and what to check
Saleable area is a selling term rather than a legal measurement. It normally includes the carpet area, walls, balconies and a share of common areas.
If a brochure or listing quotes saleable area, ask for the carpet area too, and compare prices on carpet.
