What is an administrative fine?
The fine imposed for any administrative offense is almost always levied in monetary terms. The characteristics of the measure are determined by the Administrative Code:
- sanctions can be imposed both by the court and by officials and other bodies authorized to consider administrative cases;
- The minimum amount is legally established - 100 rubles, for violation of traffic rules - from 500 rubles;
- The maximum amount limit depends on the status of the offender.
- the maximum possible amount of the fine will depend on the specific composition of the Special Part of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, as well as the status of the offender.
On a note! Depending on the financial situation of the offender, the authorized bodies may grant a deferment of payment of the fine for up to 3 months.
What fines are administrative?
An administrative fine, as established by the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, is a measure of punishment for non-compliance with labor, antimonopoly, tax, customs, land, labor, and housing legislation.
Sanctions also apply for violations of consumer rights law or other areas of law. Since recovery is carried out in cash, the following are taken into account:
- what was the administrative offense and its consequences;
- the number of similar crimes committed by the accused;
- type of entity - for individuals and legal entities, amounts may differ significantly.
Important! A fine may be imposed in conjunction with other sanctions.
According to the Code of Administrative Offenses, the only citizens for whom monetary liability is not established are conscripts of the Armed Forces and cadets of military educational institutions until the moment of signing the contract.
What to do if you have lost your decision on a fine for traffic violations.
The number of photo and video recording cameras is growing steadily every year. There is probably no driver who has not received a decree by mail imposing a fine on him for violating traffic rules. In this case, the procedure for everyone is traditionally simple. I received the decision and then simply paid the fine on the receipt through an ATM, or through payment systems on the Internet, or through any bank convenient for you. What to do if, for example, you did not receive a resolution by mail or do not live at your place of registration where administrative authorities usually send resolutions on traffic violations..?
Let us remind our dear readers that previously, in order to receive a copy of the decision to bring the driver to administrative responsibility, you had to personally contact the division of the Moscow Administrative Road Inspectorate (depending on the type of camera and type of offense). Now Moscow drivers have the opportunity to order a copy of the resolution online for themselves through the Internet portal “Avtokod”.
Well, to order such a copy of the fine decision you need to go to: https://avtokod.mos.ru/
Next, you will need to find a link at the top of the screen in the section “Request a copy of the decision on MADI fines online”
Attention! To use this service you must be registered on the public services portal of the city of Moscow. To receive a receipt and a copy of the resolution, you need to log in to the “Autocode” portal using your login with which you are registered on the Moscow Public Services portal.
After authorization, you will immediately be taken to a special section of the site “Autocode”
Next, you need to create an online request, indicating your details and the decision number. Also in the application it is necessary to indicate the reason for requesting such a copy of the resolution (not living at the place of registration, the resolution was lost, etc.)
Minimum and maximum fine amounts
A fixed amount for paying an administrative fine is the basic method of punishment. The final amount of the decision will depend on:
- amounts of unpaid taxes, fees or other obligatory contributions to the state budget;
- the cost of a municipal or state contract;
- the amount of unfulfilled contractual obligations;
- cadastral valuation of real estate;
- the minimum wage without taking into account the regional coefficient at the time of the commission of the illegal act;
- the value of the object at the time of the beginning or end of the violation;
- type of persons held accountable - for individuals - 25 minimum wages, for an official - 50 minimum wages, for enterprises, regardless of the form of ownership - 1000 minimum wages.
Individual cases of financial punishment can be presented in the form of a table.

Amount of fine for foreigners
The imposition and execution of an administrative fine for citizens of other states has several nuances:
- imposition of a fine as an additional penalty. Foreigners pay the sanction the next day after the decision. Failure to pay may result in an entry ban for 5 years;
- foreign carriers pay fines no later than the general deadline, but before the departure of their vehicles.
On a note! The court, federal (regional, municipal) officials, the Federal Tax Service, customs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have the right to impose penalties for an administrative offense.
How to find out the number of the resolution on bringing to administrative liability for traffic violations?
Unfortunately, many car drivers are not always aware of their fines if they do not receive such a decision by mail. After all, the resolution may not arrive for various reasons (poor postal service, open mailbox, etc.). But we draw your attention to the following: this does not relieve you of the obligation to promptly pay the fine within the time limits established by law. In order to quickly and promptly know about MADI fines issued in your name, you need to periodically check the official information about bringing you to administrative responsibility.
To do this, use the online database of the Moscow Administrative Road Inspectorate (MADI), where you can find out information about the fines accrued for your violation of traffic rules in the city of Moscow in terms of violations committed, the administration of which is carried out by MADI (parking, stopping and parking rules).
Let us remind our readers, to find out for yourself whether you have unpaid fines for traffic violations, you need to go to the Internet address: https://avtokod.mos.ru/Pages/Services/SivService.aspx?key=36751 and enter in the corresponding fields the number of the vehicle registration certificate.
After this, you will receive information about all accrued fines for a certain period of time. In the information provided to you, you will see the number of the resolution to bring you to administrative responsibility. Knowing this resolution number, you can use the online service of the Autocode portal to receive a copy of the document holding you accountable for violating traffic rules, the administration of which is entrusted to MADI.

Consequences of failure to pay an administrative fine
The period for voluntary payment for an administrative fine is 60 days and is counted from the moment the resolution comes into force. If the defendant did not file a complaint and did not make payment within the specified period, the following penalties are possible:
- forced deductions from wages or other income - after the start of enforcement proceedings by the FSSP;
- accrual of a new fine, arrest, enforcement work - after drawing up an administrative protocol on non-payment.
The payer has the right to apply for a deferment or installment plan. Small businesses, when imposing a fine based on the results of an inspection, can write a petition to replace payments with a warning.
What sanctions are provided for repeated offenses?
The statute of limitations for administrative offenses is 2 years if the resolution has not entered into force. In other cases, non-payment is evasion, and a violation committed a second time in a year is repeated.
Art. 4.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses considers this as an aggravating circumstance. The defendant faces a penalty equal to twice the previous fine.
The legislation establishes administrative violations, the minimum and maximum limits of monetary liability. Payers can deposit funds in several ways and arrange a deferment.
