Compounding of Offences

Discovered a past default? Compounding lets you settle it officially instead of facing prosecution. We prepare the petition and represent you to closure.

Overview

Compounding is the mechanism to settle certain offences under the Companies Act by paying a compounding fee, rather than facing prosecution. It’s the responsible way to regularise a past default — a missed filing, a procedural lapse — once you’ve discovered it.

GovYapar assesses whether the offence is compoundable, prepares the application to the Regional Director or NCLT as applicable, and represents you so the matter is closed cleanly.
