Procedure on applications under section 245C: deemed allowance, notice, reports, orders and payment obligations govern settlements. On receipt of an application under section 245C the Settlement Commission must issue notice, hear the applicant and within prescribed periods reject or allow the application (or it will be deemed allowed if no order is passed); copies of orders go to the applicant and the Principal Commissioner/Commissioner. If allowed, the Commission may call records and reports, direct further enquiry, hear parties, and pass orders setting settlement terms, payment manner and safeguards against fraud, subject to statutory time-limits and post-order rectification and interest provisions.
