Dwelling Units — Density × Katha Method

Two ways to think about units

PlanBD shows three unit estimates:

Density × katha formula

katha       = plotAreaM² ÷ 66.89   (1 katha ≈ 720 sq ft)
PermittedDU = ceil(desirableDensity × katha)
A3 bonus    = ceil(PermittedDU × 0.10)   // A3 only
MaximumDU   = PermittedDU + A3 bonus

desirableDensity comes from your density block (Appendix 3.6). Without a block assignment, density-method estimates are omitted.

A3 apartment bonus

Category A3 (flat/apartment) gets an extra 10% units above the desirable density cap — this is a discretionary allowance under DAP §3.6.4.1(d), not automatic approval.

FAR-based reference

Dividing total buildable GFA by typical unit size (from block metadata) gives a FAR-based unit count. This can differ from the density method — RAJUK may apply whichever rule is more restrictive at approval stage.

Run your plot in the FAR Calculator — section 7 Unit Analysis shows all three figures.
