You have done mistake. you issue him a notice describing the back ground stating that you only taken 2.5 lakhs.
Look it also from the side of govt staff conduct rules.

Money given to friends and relatives is always a charity in the garb of loan which is given in expectation of refund but always taken with intention of non-refund.
Such loan is taken by a person:-
(i) Who lacks business sence and cannot raise funds out of his own business and suddenly wants to be rich.
(ii) who cannot raise bank loan because :-
Either
he himself is not creditworthy
Or
the purpose for which he seeks loan is illegal
or
the purpose for which he seeks loan is not at all commercially viable.
(iii) Who knows he can afford not to refund.
(iv) Who trusts his thick skin
(v) Who intends not to refund
(vi) Who has made fortification against action of refund.
So he has to find someone who can part with his money. SO he finds a lender near him (fiend or relative)
Such loans are given by the persons :-
(i) Who has surplus money.
(ii) Who displays and boasts of such surplus money.
(iii) Who stupidly believe that there will be a refund.
(iv) Fails to realise as to why he alone (not bank) is being contacted for loan.
(v) Who has extreme trust on the debor
(vi) who are either stupid or extremely greedy of the unusual (or illegal) rate of interest.
Such loans are always given
(i) Without documentation.
(ii) Without witness
(iii) Without guarantor.
Business started by such money (easy money belonging to other) invariably fails.
Such loans always sink and not refunded.

You can return the money actually borrowed with the interest under proper acknowledgement. If he moves court, the onus rests with him in proving his averments.

No you have to return the money as per agreement, if the suit is not time barred so far.

Try to have amicable settlement.
If he goes to court, you can raise objection of, not a professional lender, very high rate of interest etc. after discussion with your lawyer.
If the money was not through Banking channel and he is unable to show source / accounting of 4 lacs, may lodge complaint with Income Tax Department, if he file case.

If you are willing to pay the principal and interest actually to be paid, I think, he will agree for it. Make a proposal.

Prefer an amicable settlement "out of court".
