Compounding & Adjudication
Compounding & Adjudication
Compounding and Adjudication are legal mechanisms under the Companies Act, 2013 used to resolve non-compliance, procedural defaults, and regulatory violations committed by companies, directors, or officers.
These processes help businesses regularize compliance defaults, settle penalties, and minimize prolonged legal proceedings by making applications before the appropriate authorities such as the Registrar of Companies (ROC), Regional Director (RD), or National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), as applicable.
