Name transfer in the pagdi system

Dear Sir, I have taken i house in Nalasopara in a pagdi system building @ 2,00,000/- 04 year back & for transfer of name in the rent receipt i have paid the landlord the some of Rs.25000/- & he has done it. But now when i want to re-sale my house to someone else the landlord is asking for a huge amount for transfer the name. So kindly advise what is legal percentage for transfering the name in the pagdi system. Or else can we get the transfer done through court .If possible what will be the court fees & charges we have to bear for name tranfer in the pagdi system.

The pagdi system is an arrangement between the tenant and the owner. You cannot approach the courts to settle the issue, when the actual owner demands money from you when a buyer wants to buy the property. Many a tenant suffer because of , this lack of legal knowledge.
