Verify the calculation of interest amount for the default period, and if it is correct you will have to pay it. At the most you can pay a part amount and plead for extension of time oimit to repay.

If you are certain about your credentials ..
Reach Reserve Bank's Banking Ombudsman ..
You can even file a Complain online . Reach RBI's web site:
if not satisfied by Banking Ombudsman's judgement you can reach civil courts for resolution ..
All the Best ..

Don't worry. Usually banks adopt this technique of threatening with legal action.
Of course court will ask you to pay if you are liable - but you can expect a reasonable amount of time for repayment.
If you default, bank will file money suit.
