Compounding ineligibility: unquantifiable amounts, suspected money laundering or prior adjudication bar compounding under FEMA rules.

Compounding is precluded where the amount is unquantifiable; where Section 37A applies; where the Directorate of Enforcement regards the matter as a serious contravention suspected of money laundering, terror financing or affecting sovereignty and integrity; where an Adjudicating Authority has already imposed a penalty; or where further investigation is required to ascertain the amount. Applicants must complete specified administrative corrective actions before compounding is processed, and contraventions meeting these exclusions must be referred for adjudication or investigation rather than compounded.
