If SpiceJet fails to pay, the Supreme Court will take "drastic action" at the next hearing on Sept. 22, it said.
The airline had previously said the Credit Suisse debt was an old one that predated the tenure of its current management.
In that case, also heard on Monday at a Delhi High Court, SpiceJet said it had deposited 625 million rupees of that amount.
