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 Pakistan's control, 5,180 km2. of disputed area handed over by Pakistan to China and 37,555 km2 of disputed area under control of China 5,180+37,555=42,735 km2 ie, Total occupied atras is 42,735 + 78114 = 1,20,849 km2 so 2,22,236 - 1,20,849 =1,01,387 km2 .[3]
