No death penalty does not mean no punishment, the convicted still can be incarcerated for life with no chance of parole.

Why not just fine them 50000 rupee or whatever? That's punishment too.

It is not an effective deterent nor does it safeguard society. Assuming they can pay the fine, they will just be out and free to rape again. If they can't raise the sum, they will only be in prison till they serve a sentence comiserate to the 50K debt.
A fine also gives carte blanche to those who can afford to rape as much as they want.

The problem with the Death Penalty as a punishment is that it can't be reversed or withdrawn after the event.

Neither can 20 years in prison be reversed.

No, but you could at least carry on living.
