Composition of offences under wage law requires application, officer verification, timely payment, and certificate issuance before prosecution follows. Composition of offences under the Code on Wages begins with an application in Form VI to the notified Gazetted Officer, who must determine whether the offence is compoundable and, if so, compound it only with the accused person's agreement and on payment of fifty per cent of the maximum fine within thirty days. The officer must then issue a composition certificate in Part-B of Form VI within ten days of receiving the amount. Failure to pay within the specified time leads to prosecution, and post-prosecution compounding requires intimation to the concerned officer.
