My father expired 4 years back, as per law the legal heir (my mother) will be the owner of the house... same was communicated to the landlord, but till date the landlord is demanding huge amount for tansfer of the name of the property on my mothers name.

pagdi system is a old system in mumbai where on transfer a ammount is paid to the landlord but in your case youare residing in the house at the time of death of your father you and your mother can file a case of RAD DECLARATION OF TENANT in the small causes court in dhobi taloa and take a order of declaration submitting all the rent receipta and also can make a application to deposit rent in the court
for this matter you may contact advocate neena bharwani at the small court library old bldg dhobitalao opp metro small causes court mumbai
best of luck

Get the Sussession certificate from the court and you dont need to pay any exta panny to your landlord.
Moreover cheques deposit are itself a receipt. If he is not accepting then deposit it into the court.

Re: Transfer of ownership in Pagdi system
Since the pagdi system is a peculiar local feature, you may better contact a lawyer familiar with the situation in Mumbai.
However, prima facie, it appears that even if you are a tenant, the tenancy may be heritable by you and your mother jointly. Therefore, if you continue paying the rent regularly, the landlord may not be able to throw you out of the house.
You may continue sending the rent to the landlord by money-order. Rent receipt may not be necessary if the rent is paid by Money-order or bank draft or crossed account payee cheque.
