Gather Supporting Documents: Collect all relevant documents, such as your NEFT transaction records, rent receipts, and other evidence that demonstrates the legitimacy of the rental agreement and the actual payment of rent to your mother.

Consult with a New CA or Legal Advisor: Seek guidance from a new Chartered Accountant or a legal advisor experienced in property and tenancy matters. They can provide you with expert advice on how to present your case in court and address any discrepancies effectively.

Provide Justification for Higher Rent: Explain the reasons for the higher rent in your area, such as the quality, size, and location of the property, which may justify the amount you are paying to your mother. Providing evidence of the prevailing rental rates in your locality can also strengthen your case.

Prepare an Affidavit: Prepare an affidavit detailing the genuine nature of the rental agreement, the reasons for the higher rent, and the regular payment of rent through legal channels. This affidavit can serve as a sworn statement to be presented in court as evidence.
