if a business organisation collects money from public in instalments around 1000 per month for 20 months and they pay them back including some money they collect nearly 20 laks per year do they need to have any licence for doing that......

This appears to come under the Chit Funds Act. Registration is mandatory for any chit value above Rs.100 (One hundred only).
If this is not a chit fund, and the said business organization is collecting deposits from public, it can do so if it is authorized by RBI to collect deposit as an NBFC.
Acceptance of deposits by companies engaged in activities including plantation activities, commodities trading, multilevel marketing, manufacturing activities, housing finance, nidhis (mutual benefit financial companies), and potential nidhis (mutual benefit company) and companies engaged in collective investment schemes do not come under the purview/regulations of the RBI.
Individuals, firms and other unincorporated association of individuals or bodies shall not accept deposits from the public–
(i) if his or its business wholly or partly includes any of the financial activities such as loans and advances, acquisition of shares or marketable securities, leasing or hire purchase activities , or
(ii) if his or its principal business is that of receiving deposits or lending in any manner.
