https://www.taxtmi.com/acts?id=42784 Courts may direct that an offender sentenced to a fine suffer default imprisonment if the fine is not paid; that term is subject to statutory limits and must not be excessive. Default imprisonment may exceed other concurrent imprisonment but, where the offence carries imprisonment as well as fine, the default term is capped at a proportion of the offence's maximum custodial term. Imprisonment in default ends when the fine is paid or levied, or earlier if payment proportionately reduces the outstanding fine; unpaid fines may be levied within a statutory limitation period and property remains liable after the offender's death. en-us Fri, 29 Dec 2023 10:07:13 +0530 Fri, 29 Dec 2023 10:07:13 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/acts?id=42784 Courts may direct that an offender sentenced to a fine suffer default imprisonment if the fine is not paid; that term is subject to statutory limits and must not be excessive.
