No even the interest can not be paid in cash. The provisions of Section 269T(a) are reproduced here under:
(a) the amount of the loan or deposit together with the interest, if any, payable thereon
As such, repayment of interest can not be made otherwise than an account payee cheque or bank draft whether parked in the main loan account or elsewhere.
