he will be considered as Convict.

he has admitted to his guilt and has been imposed fine.

imposition of fine is also a punishment...mere payment of fine does not absolve a person of his conviction or guilt.

Vinod bansal ji,
any confess before the criminal court in a case is a conviction.
in the matter of petty offence as m.v.act ,gambling,excise act(low quantity)could not record in to the police station as convition how ever they are convited by the court.
