Core Purpose

This corrigendum amends the scope of compoundable offences under the Code on Wages, 2019, as previously notified by S.O. 2455(E) dated 12th May, 2026.

Detailed Summary

The Ministry of Labour and Employment issued a Corrigendum (S.O. 4573(E)) on August 19, 2026, to correct a previous notification of the Government of India, S.O. 2455(E), dated May 12, 2026. This earlier notification was published in the Gazette of India, Extraordinary, Part II, Section 3, Sub-section (ii), Issue No. 2363. The correction specifically amends the wording on page 3 of S.O. 2455(E). The phrase "to compound the offences punishable with imprisonment only, or with imprisonment and also with fine," is replaced with "to compound any offence under the Code on Wages, 2019, other than an offence punishable with imprisonment only or with imprisonment and also with fine." This clarifies that offences punishable solely with imprisonment or with both imprisonment and fine are excluded from compounding under the Code on Wages, 2019. The corrigendum was signed by Tejaswi S. Naik, Joint Secretary.
