In simple words

Notice of the deposit must be given by the defendant to the plaintiff through the Court. Unless the Court otherwise directs, the amount deposited is paid to the plaintiff on his application. The plaintiff may thus draw the money from Court, while the notice triggers the later consequences, such as the stopping of interest on the deposited sum.
