  • Criminal remedies. Imprisonment of the accused or imposition of fine or both. …
  • Administrative remedies.

 

The minimum punishment for infringement of copyright is imprisonment for six months with the minimum fine of Rs. 50,000/-. In the case of a second and subsequent conviction the minimum punishment is imprisonment for one year and fine of Rs. one lakh.
