In India, even without a formal rent agreement, the landlord has the legal right to recover possession of the property. You can file a legal notice to vacate under the Rajasthan Rent Control Act, 1954, and if they don’t comply, file an eviction suit in the appropriate court.

I’ve been living with my family in Mumbai for 25 years, in my brother’s rented property under the “pagdi” system. While I don’t pay him directly, I cover the rent and electricity bills. My brother has been living in his own flat for 12 years. Unfortunately, there have been constant arguments and disagreements with family members, leading to my brother issuing a notice yesterday, demanding I vacate the property in 60 days.
