Doubts regarding amendments made in section 138 of nia

Recently the parliament has passed an amendment to the section 138 of NIA. Which states that the courts may direct the accused to pay an interim compensation of 20%. And the compensation should be paid within the period of 90 days. Now i have some doubts regarding this provision which i want the esteemed lawyers in the forum to help me through.

1, What will happen if the accused to failed to produce the compensation in stipulated time ? because in that amendment there's nothing specific given regarding the course of actions
I will be grateful if you can tell me what should be done from our part if it is exceeding the 90 days and i also wanted to know whether the courts will take any action on him ? if yes then what kind of actions ?
