My landlord increased the rent of the flat without any prior notice. I asked him about the reasons but he just said if I do not pay the rent, I will have to vacate the flat. What legal protections do I have against this issue I am facing?

You can refuse to pay the unjustified enhanced rental amount if it is not part of rental agreement conditions for annual enhancement.
After that you can file a suit for permanent injunction to restrain him from evicting you forcibly other than by due process of law.

Is there any rental agreement between you and the landlord? If so what are the terms and conditions of the rent agreement?
