According to Section 8 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, what is the maximum time within which the unpaid fine can be levied after the sentence has been passed?

The correct answer is option 3.

Key Points

•  Section 8(7) specifies that the fine, or any part of it that remains unpaid, can be levied at any time within six years from the passing of the sentence.
• If the offender is liable for imprisonment for a longer period than six years, the fine can be levied before the expiration of that period.
• This ensures that the fine is enforceable even after some time has passed.
