Yes, you can claim the improvement cost of 16 lakh in capital gains. The improvement cost refers to the expenses incurred for the construction of the 2nd floor of the flat. You can deduct this cost from the capital gains you have earned from the sale of the flat. However, it is important to maintain proper documentation, such as bills and invoices, to substantiate the improvement cost.
