Approach the high court with writ for protecting your interest over the land.
Ajay Sir the Agreement was just on a stamp paper notary done, not registered as it was in a chawl and no advice was taken from a good lawyer, but the port trust land receipt is transferred on my name there were some procedures i had to fulfill which i did , and cheque given for 6 years pending land rent from previous owner i had to pay!

How was the port trust land transferred to your name? Was it through a conveyance deed? If yes, then has the deed been registered? You cannot be made to suffer due to the dispute between the BMC and collector/port trust over the collection of rent.
It will be in your interest to get the agreement vetted by a lawyer to ascertain what exactly should be done to protect your rights.
in chawls people generally dont pay proper stamp duty on agreement . your agreement must have been on Rs 100 stamp paper . please note that document which is not stamped and registered is in admissible in evidence .
the saving grace in your case is base d on agreement port trust land receipt is transferred in your name . it appears BPT is owner of land on which chawl stands . since you have complied with requirement aid down by BPT and paid pending rent arrears yo u may not have anything to worry about .
what you should do is send rent to BPT with covering letter . let them refuse to accept it . you are not concerned with fight between various authorities .
