In the form of cheque/cash
When we speak of payments being made, we use the preposition "in" - ie. Payment must be made in cash or cheque.

in cash or by check (cheque).
Many aspects of human languages are irritatingly arbitrary. Perhaps no aspect is more arbitrary than the choice of preposition. This example clearly demonstrates this point. We say, "in cash," but "by check" (or "cheque") and "by money order." There is no need for "the form of."
