The Real Estate Regulatory Authority of Karnataka has issued a circular requiring all registered developers to disclose apartment and flat carpet area in both square feet and square meters on every project brochure, website listing, and sale agreement. The rule takes effect 1 May 2025.

This dual reporting requirement reflects the practical reality that Karnataka buyers think in square feet while RERA’s legal framework mandates square meters. For buyers: multiply the square meter figure by 10.764 to get square feet. Use our square meter to square feet calculator for instant conversion.

Karnataka Land Units

Karnataka uses Gunta as its primary land unit for agricultural and semi-urban plots. 1 Gunta = 1,089 sq ft = 1/40 acre. See our gunta to square feet in karnataka for land calculations alongside the new RERA apartment measurements.
