They can not demand money other than what was agreed upon. Further they can not also unilaterally change the terms of the Contract. If any terms of the Contract is to be changed, it has to be agreed upon by both the parties and therefore their demand of extra money as well as change of exit plan is contrary to law and further amounts to deficiency in service. Therefore you can file a Complaint in a district forum.
