Normally on a top floor or on the first floor of the building a terrace is formed out of compulsion and its used by the adjoining flat owner. As such its not counted in the built up area of the building. Its a point of negotiation between the developer and a owner of such terrace to settle it.

A few years back I had purchased a 1BHK flat in Mumbai which included a 520sq.ft terrace area. I currently reside in Saudi Arabia. While I was away, the residents of my society have built a tower because of which I only have 225 sq.ft of terrace area left for myself and the rest is occupied by the tower. As of now the society is not completely formed. Since my agreement mentions the 520 sp ft area of the terrace as my property what kind of legal action should I take against the society ?

If the terrace area is not a common terrace and has no entrance except from within the flat, then the society will not be entitled to put up any tower on the terrace area. You can file a suit against the society for restraining them from tresspassing into your property and also for removal of the tower.

According to RERA, if all the flats are sold purely on carpet area basis, how will balcony or pocket terrace be calculated and added to the area of the flat?

As per definition, builder cannot add balcony area or pocket terrace area as a part of the carpet area. However, it can be separately mentioned in the agreement as a disclosure to a prospective purchaser. They may be included in the lumpsum price of the apartment.
