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
2
and 37,555 km of disputed area under occupation of China 5,180+37,555=42,735 km 2 .[3]
