02 January 2009 Compounding is a process whereby an accused pays compounding charges in lieu
of undergoing consequences of prosecution.

Compounding of offence allows the accused to avoid a lengthy process of criminal prosecution, which would save cost, time, mental agony, etc in return for payment of compounding charges.

Consent Orders can be passed in respect of all types of enforcement or remedial actions including administrative proceedings and civil actions e.g. proceedingsunder Sections 11, 11A(1)(b), 11B and 11D of SEBI Act or under EnquiryProceedings Regulations or Adjudication Rules or equivalent proceedings underthe Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act 1956, Depositories Act 1996 and other civil matters pending before SAT/courts. Compounding of offence can coverappropriate prosecution cases filed by SEBI before the criminal courts.

02 January 2009 Composition fee varies according to the crime. However, the maximum will not be more than the fine/penalty prescribed under the respective sections under which the crime relates. Moreover if any additional fee is paid as per schedule X for the matter covered in a crime that will be reduced from the maximum composition fee payable.
