as the above expert said send a legal notice if there is no reply of the notice then you can file a suit for recovery of money, as you are bared by the limitation act because 3years has laps, make sure you take the ground for delay because of COVID-19 for the institution of the suit.

Now your claim is time barred and legally you can not recover it Delay for filing recovery suit can't be condoned as sec 5 of limitation act applies only to applications and appeals.

How can a legal notice bring the claim within limitation ? Answer is "no".
Adopt some arm twisting tactics, disturb signals from the tower or sell the tower to some kabadi and recover your money from salvage.

Right now the courts are hearing only urgent matters only so better take down the poster or wait till the courts reopen formally.

If you send legal notice / notice / letter to sell out the structure for partial recovery of your rent, possibly other party mistakenly accept the liability.

What were the terms on which the tower was erected? Was there any provision for periodical rent or lease money? Is the tower still functional?

Sir term was rent agreement which have to be renewed after 3year, there is no provision for periodical rent but yearly payment . Which will be increase once in after 3year which is 15%.Though the advertisement tower(Hoarding Board) still erect its is not functional may be due for covin 19.

What do you mean by 'no-functional'? Anyhow, the facts posted suggest the cause of action to be continuous/recurring and hence, with proper pleading, the question of limitation could be overcome.

Send legal notice claiming your rent as per agreement. Discuss with local lawyer.
