If you had a No Due Certificate from the bank, the issue would have been closed much easily. However, that is not to say that you need to pay additional amount of INR 155000. If you say that bank gave you an offer for settlement of the loan for INR 148000 and you paid the same in four tranches; such offer along with proof of payment should be sufficient to show that nothing is due and payable now.
If you paid amount in 2012 and your query is in July, 2022, presumably neither bank issued any communication nor you wrote to the bank in the intervening period. If so, irrespective of whether there was a settlement on agreed terms, you will get additional point of limitation to defend your liability.
