Compounding of eligible foreign contribution offences precludes prosecution, subject to repeat-offence limits and regulatory compliance directions.
Section 41 permits composition of offences before prosecution where the offence is not punishable with imprisonment only. Composition is undertaken by specified officers or authorities under Central Government supervision. It is barred for similar offences committed within three years of an earlier compounded offence, while later similar offences are treated as first offences. A pre-prosecution composition prevents prosecution for that offence. For defaults concerning required permissions, filings, registrations, returns, accounts or documents, the competent officer or authority may direct compliance within a specified time.
