Yes the claim amount in arbitration petition could be different and more than what might have been demanded in the notice. In fact claim amount could be changed in civil suit or arbitration even after filing of an arbitration petition or a suit through amendment.
More important is to prove the amount with necessary oral and documentary evidence where you can find several ways to defend.
