Composition of offences under wage law: application procedure, reduced compounding amount, certificate issuance, and prosecution on default. Provision governs the composition of offences by requiring an application in Form VI to the notified Gazetted Officer, who must verify whether the offence is compoundable and, if so, compound it for fifty per cent of the maximum fine payable within thirty days. On receipt of the composition amount, a composition certificate is issued in Part-B of Form VI. Failure to pay within time leads to prosecution, while post-prosecution composition requires intimation to the concerned officer for further action.
