Criminal Law Chapter III Punishments Section 6 . Fines Article 52-53

Section 6 . Fines

第六节 罚金

Article 52 . In imposing a fine, the amount of the fine shall be determined according to the circumstances of the crime.

第五十二条  【罚金数额的裁量】判处罚金，应当根据犯罪情节决定罚金数额。

Article 53 . A fine shall be paid in a lump sum or in installments within the period specified in the judgment. The person who fails to pay the fine in full upon the expiration of the period shall be compelled to pay. If the person sentenced is unable to pay the fine in full, the people's court may collect whenever the person is found in possession of executable property.

第五十三条  【罚金的缴纳】罚金在判决指定的期限内一次或者分期缴纳。期满不缴纳的，强制缴纳。对于不能全部缴纳罚金的，人民法院在任何时候发现被执行人有可以执行的财产，应当随时追缴。

Where a person truly has difficulties in paying the fine because he or she due to irresistible calamity or any other reason, the people's court may render a ruling to postpone the payment of the fine, or grant a reduction or even exemption in light of the actual circumstances.

由于遭遇不能抗拒的灾祸等原因缴纳确实有困难的，经人民法院裁定，可以延期缴纳、酌情减少或者免除。
