I googled IPC 406 and found various sites. All of them had it as non bailable apart from wikipedia which says it's bailable. Hence just wanted to confirm this. Thanks very much guys.. :-)

Sec. 406 IPC is non bailable and if the amount of beach of trust exceeds more then 500Rs/-,it is non-compoundable too .

One more thing, i want to add.
The bail is at the discretion of Court.

The wordings Bailable, Non-bailable are guide lines.
