- Subject to such conditions and restrictions as may be prescribed, a Gram Panchayat may, on application by the owner of a factory or a contiguous group of buildings, permit him to compound all or any of the taxes payable by him under this Act, by paying in lieu thereof such lump-sum amount as may be agreed upon between him and the Gram Panchayat with the approval of the District Collector. Where there is no such agreement the matter may be referred to the Commissioner in the manner prescribed and the Commissioner shall, after giving to the Gram Panchayat and the owner of the factory or a contiguous group of buildings concerned an opportunity of making a representation, decide the lump-sum amount payable by the owner of the factory or a contiguous group of buildings under this section. The decision of the Commissioner in this regard shall be final.
