<h1>New Customs Rules Allow Offenders to Settle Cases Through Payment, Aiming to Reduce Litigation and Court Backlogs.</h1> The government has implemented the Customs and Central Excise (Compounding of Offences) Rules, 2005, effective December 30, 2005. These rules aim to reduce litigation by allowing offenders to settle cases through payment. Offences are categorized as either technical or substantive, with technical offences eligible for multiple compounding, while substantive offences can only be compounded once. Certain serious offences, such as those involving narcotics or smuggling, are ineligible for compounding. The Chief Commissioners are authorized to handle compounding applications, which must be resolved within six months. Public awareness of these rules is encouraged to reduce court case backlogs.
