the receipt can be changed only with the consent of the landlord. Orally request him if he agrees fine or else let it continue like it.
let the landlord file a petition for eviction, only then you may defend your case. there is no need to do anything at this juncture. keep paying the rent.
you should talk to the landlord and get the receipt on your name to be safe as per Maharashtra Rent Act
