1. The offences under Section 66C and 66D of IT Act are non-compoundable, hence the only remedy is to file a petition for quashing in the High Court on the basis of compromise.

2. 419, 420 and 500 IPC are compoundable even before Lok Adalat even before charge is framed

This is my response to you:

1. Yes section 419, 420 and 500 can be compounded provided that the litigant who has filed the case is ready to compromise;

2. So if you wish, make a lawyer appear before the lok adalat and wrap it up;

3. Try to finish it pre-litigation otherwise the costs you would have to bear would be large;

4. You will have to state more facts of the case and then best legal opinion can be given;

5. Consult a local lawyer and take steps.

Is 66c 66d compoundable in Lok adalat in pre litigation stage of a case?

There is no particular reference to lok adalat in this situation.

Under some criminal provisions if any section of the Penal Code is also read with the same wrong act the offence becomes non compoundable and is to be quashed only by the HC under Sec. 482 provisions

Is 419, 420, 500 compoundable in Lok adalat in a pre litigation stage?

Section 500 of IPC is compoundable offense, 419 and cheating 420 are not compoundable but can be consider in certain circumstances with the permission of court.

Sec. 420 – compoundable – Apex court held that Offence under Section 420 of the IPC is compoundable with the permission of the court by the person who is cheated. Since the parties are related to each other and they have decided to accord a quietus to their disputes and live peacefully, we permit them to compound the offence. Hence, the offence under Section 420 of the IPC for which the appellant was convicted is compounded because it is compoundable with the permission of the court.

Legal Provisions of Section 419 of Indian Penal Code, 1860. Punishment for cheating by personation: ... It says that whoever cheats by personation shall be punished with simple or rigorous imprisonment for a term extending up to three years, or with fine, or with both.

It is compoundable by the person who was cheated.
