The area figures of states and union territories do not add up to area of India because:
- The shortfall of 7 km2. area of Madhya Pradesh and 3 km2. area of Chhattisgarh is yet to be resolved by the Survey of India.[3]
- Disputed area of 13 km2. between Puducherry and Andhra Pradesh is neither included in Puducherry nor in Andhra Pradesh.[3]
- Area figures includes the area under occupation by Pakistan and China. The area includes 13,297+64,817 = 78,114 km2. of disputed area under occupation of Pakistan, 5,180 km2. of disputed area handed over by Pakistan to China and 37,555 km2 of disputed area under occupation of China 5,180+37,555=42,735 sq km .[3]
