Form XXIV: First-offence compounding notice and application
This is the prescribed format in the final Social Security (Central) Rules, 2026, linked to rule 54(1), 54(2) and 54(3). Use the original Gazette extract below to see the complete fields and declarations.
Who uses this form?
Compounding officer and responding applicant. The form’s presence in the Library does not itself create an obligation or establish that its chapter applies to an establishment.
What to prepare
Keep the alleged offence, payment particulars, response and officer action connected. Check section 138 eligibility and the relevant authority before making any compounding request.
Choose the correct legal route
Confirm the applicable chapter, appropriate-government jurisdiction and the current procedure before filing or issuing a document. Distinguish an application, an employer-maintained register and an authority-issued notice or certificate. A form used in one process is not interchangeable with a similarly numbered form under another Code or state law.
Download and retain the source
The download preserves physical PDF pages 245–246 of the official Gazette without editing the page contents. Adjacent forms can share a source page.
