Circular No. 5/2016 dated 20.09.2016 states that if a court pronounces a sentence with both an imprisonment and a fine, then any close relative or a representative of a convicted prisoner at any time before or after the end of the term of imprisonment of the convicted prisoner may deposit the fine at a branch of Bangladesh Bank or Sonali Bank situated within either the district of which the court has pronounced the sentence or the district in which prison the convicted prisoner is serving his/her term of imprisonment. Neither the convicted prisoner nor his/her representative has to take prior permission from the court in this regard.
