In Israel introduced new rules for installment of fines

On October 24, 2026, new rules came into force in Israel, allowing debtors to independently issue installments for fines and fees up to 15,000 shekels - quickly, online and without bureaucracy, but only once.

From November 15, 2026, new rules are officially in force in Israel, simplifying the life of citizens who have debts on fines and fees. Now, according to the ruling “ י המר ש יе еוе, אמרוе והואו (הוראו ש יייة ריה ה או ש ש שеוе), ה שе” (“Reshumot”), published in the Official Collection of Regulations (September 24) and effective October 24, any debtor whose total debt at the Fines Center does not exceed 15 000 fines via the telephone line 592.

This is the first time such a service has become fully automated and available without having to submit a separate application and wait for individual approval.

The amount of the monthly payment depends on the size of the debt and is divided into four fixed categories: if the debt does not exceed 1,000 е, the monthly payment will be 250 е; if the debt is from 1,000 to 5,000 е – 500 е per month; from 5,000 to 10,000 е – 750 е; and for debts from 10,000 to 15,000 е – 1,000 е per month. The opportunity to use installments is provided only once - at the first request. After processing the agreement, the debtor receives SMS notifications with reminders of each monthly payment, and can also choose a convenient date for debiting funds and the number of payments within the established limits.

However, the new rules do not apply to debts for compensation to victims of crime and to fines replacing imprisonment if they have already been applied for an arrest warrant. In addition, the registration of installments does not automatically suspend executive actions for debt collection - for this, you must submit a separate written application. At the same time, the debtor retains the right to apply for a reduction in accrued penalties for delay.

A special innovation concerns the so-called “preliminary cases” (оיоי оרוо), when the deadline for payment of the fine has not yet come, but a decision has already been made to start or suspend enforcement proceedings under the bankruptcy law. In such cases, the term of payment is automatically extended for 60 days after obtaining relief from debts, termination or cancellation of bankruptcy proceedings.

According to Uri Valerstein, head of the Office for Enforcement and Collection, “this is an important service step for society.” The ability to independently and quickly issue installments for fines and fees is a significant breakthrough in the field of recovery. Automation of the process saves time and effort of citizens, eliminating the need to submit applications and wait for a decision. We will continue to develop modern and convenient services for the state and society.”.

In conclusion, the new installment rules are not only a relief for debtors, but also a step towards greater transparency and efficiency of the foreclosure system in Israel. Automation and a clear structure of payments are expected to reduce the burden on executive bodies and reduce the number of overdue debts. However, it is important to remember: you can use installments only once, and if necessary, suspend executive actions - do not forget to submit a separate application. Below is the final table with the main installment parameters:

Debt Range Monthly payment (е) Maximum number of payments

up to 1,000 250 4

1,000–5,000 500 10

5,000-10,000 750 14

10,000-15,000 1,000 15

The new installment rules could significantly ease the financial burden on thousands of Israelis, especially in the face of economic instability. If the initiative proves effective, we can expect further expansion of digital services in the field of collection.
