Yes. Interior expenditure can be included in the flat’s cost of improvement when computing capital gains, provided it is capital in nature—such as durable additions or alterations—and you can substantiate the amount with invoices and payment records. Routine repairs, maintenance, or personal-use expenses generally do not qualify. The treatment and available indexation depend on the applicable tax regime and the dates of purchase, improvement, and sale.
Keep a clear, itemised record linking each expense to the flat and the work done. This supports the cost computation and documentation in the capital-gains return workflow. Manual review of bills and classifying each item can be difficult; automation reduces repetitive work while professional judgment remains in control.
