Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to claim costs of improvement for capital gains tax when proof is unavailable. Suggestions include obtaining a valuation report from a registered valuer, using bank statements for payments made online, and arranging invoices if required by the Assessing Officer. The conversation also touches on the acceptability of cheque payments and humorous exchanges between participants.

Until the assessee was asked to produce proof in support of improvement costs there's no problem, if not you are required to submit proof in support of your claim. better get a valuation report from a registered valuer to substantiate your claim
Add cost of improvement having substantial proofs.
If the payment for cost of improvement is made from Bank using online modes then it may be sufficient.
You can show the cost of improvement now and arrange invoice later on if any required from assessing officer. Until and unless asked for, you need not required any proof.
Cheque is not acceptable. I don't accept .I strongly protest.
