Its mission is to consolidate and revise foreign currency legislation to facilitate external commerce and payments, as well as to encourage the orderly growth and maintenance of India&#8217;s foreign exchange market. Section 15 of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), 1999 empowers the Reserve Bank of India to compound any breach of Section 13 of the FEMA, 1999, except Section 3(a) violations.

The individual in violation of the provisions confesses the error and wants to compound to make it right. This avoids court processes and simplifies and expedites the process.
