If the company agrees to receive in installment, then only possible.

Kumar Doab (FIN)     17 December 2016

The company has not mentioned in installments or in lump sum.

The company has mentioned it shall be sole judge.

Clause of arbitration is inserted.

It is not mentioned that employee has approached the company to sponsor etc?

In case of termination the amount of Rs.11 lacs was not be charged.

You have to made conversation with your company how you pay the liability amount.

Once you made sign in the agreement that can not alter or you can not say that it is violation of law or any other things.
