Money ordered to be paid recoverable as a fine.
What this section does
Any money (other than a fine) payable under an order made under the BNSS, whose method of recovery is not otherwise expressly provided, shall be recoverable as if it were a fine. A special proviso applies when section 461 is applied to an order for payment of costs under section 400, requiring a textual modification to the proviso of section 461(1).

Why this matters
BNSS Section 471 forms part of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita which replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 on 1 July 2024. Any new filing, FIR, charge sheet, or bail application made on or after that date should cite the new section number. References to the old act in legacy documents remain valid for matters that arose before the changeover.
