Punishment under section IPC 378

The offence of theft is punishable with imprisonment of either description which may extend to 3 years, with fine, or both according to the Indian Penal Code. The offence of theft, though cognizable and non-bailable, is compoundable (where the accused and the victim can enter into a compromise to drop charges against the accused).

 

Punishment under PMLA section 3

Under Section 2(1)(u), “proceeds of crime” refers to the property derived directly or indirectly by any person, as a result of criminal activity relating to any of the “scheduled offences” covered under the PMLA. Section 2(1)(u) must be read in consonance with Section 3, which states that a person shall be guilty of the offence of money laundering if he performs any process or activity connected with the “proceeds of crime”.

In the order for conviction itself the further sentence would be made known if you fail to pay the fine amount.

It depends on the judgment or orders passed by the court
