Sir,
If your shop is in Maharashtra, if you have been paying the rent regularly and if you have all the rent receipts with you, then you are fully protected under Maharashtra Rent Act 1999.
You have to pay the original rent and legally permitted increases only. He can not demand any increased rent.
Good Luck,
