Additional fine for unavailable confiscable property permits conviction-based penalties alongside other fines when confiscation cannot be effected.
Section 36 empowers the trial court to impose an additional fine upon conviction where an act or omission makes Indian or foreign articles, currency or securities liable to confiscation but the property is unavailable for confiscation. The fine may extend to five times the value of the property or the prescribed minimum amount, whichever is higher, and is in addition to any other fine imposed for the offence.
