please tell him that you are ok with four inches provided proper level have been taken, i have never seen a nine inches slab before.

It is very okay but not economical at all. My guess is that your cousin is a young engineer, he probably doesn't want to take any chance at all. I'll advice you get help from an experienced Engineer that would guide your cousin to avoid further unnecessary expenses. Wish you luck !

if it's upstairs,let say a storey building 9inch/230mm is needed,but if it's a bungalow 6inch/150mm will be fine.Always consult a professional.
