It depends whether you get permission or not as it depends upon various factors. You need to meet municipal authorities in this regard.

contact BMC for the clarifications and necessary permissions,

You can not carry any structural changes in the rented premises.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 15 March 2020
Besides Municipal authorities to sanction you the approval for additional construction, you may have to get NOC from the landlord also.
Pagdi is similar to renting system that is prevalant everywhere in the world. A house is said to be on Pagdi when it has a landlord and a tenant, just like the usual renting. The differentiating factor is that the tenant becomes a part owner of the house (not land). And the tenant can also sell the house.
Thus the tenant can apply for approval of construction of additional floor as suggested.

Agree with the expert. For any addition / alteration / structural change you have to get written permission from landlord and approval from Municipality.
