Bail can be paid through various modes like cash or check for the full amount or can be paid in the form of a property which is worth the full amount of the bail. In both the cases the bail amount is refunded back once the case is dismissed in the court. Bail can also be paid in the form of a bond through a bail agent or bail company where the bail agent or company will post a bond equivalent to the full bail amount and will charge a non-refundable fee of 10% of the total bail amount.
