Have you already served the 1 month sentence in jail? If so, the next option for the Bank would only be to file Civil Case against you, in the Civil Court for recovery of the amount. At that time you can pray to the Court for payment in installments. But in all probability the Bank will seek for getting a Travel Ban against you from the Court and may even seek for attaching your Passport.
