FAR & Plot Planning FAQs

Floor Area Ratio (FAR) determines the total built-up area allowed on your plot. For example, a FAR of 2.0 on a 1,000 sq ft plot means you can build up to 2,000 sq ft across all floors. Knowing your FAR prevents legal issues and helps plan your home design.

FAR in Patna varies by zone and road width. Typical residential plots on wider roads get FAR of 2.0–2.5, while narrow-lane plots may be limited to 1.5. Municipal rules also set ground coverage limits (usually 50–60%).

Basements are generally allowed in Patna under certain conditions. Depending on local building bylaws, basements used for parking or utilities may be partially or fully exempt from FAR calculations.

Work with an architect to optimize floor plan efficiency, use stilt parking to free ground coverage, design vertically where FAR allows multiple floors, and eliminate wasted corridor space. An architect in Patna familiar with local norms can help significantly.
