PoSH Compliance Framework

Ensure structural compliance under the PoSH Act. We assist with Internal Committee (IC) constitution, policy formulation, mandatory annual reporting, and employee training.

Who Needs This Service?

Under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013, implementation of PoSH parameters is mandatory for:

  • Any corporate enterprise, branch, NGO, association, or commercial unit employing 10 or more employees.
  • Applicable to all types of workers: permanent, temporary, contract, trainees, probationers, and part-time staff.
  • Companies looking to establish high-integrity corporate values, mitigate workplace compliance risks, and build gender-inclusive spaces.

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Failure to formulate a PoSH policy, constitute the Internal Committee, or submit mandatory reports results in severe penalties:

  • Initial Penalty Fine: Flat fine penalty up to ₹50,000 for initial violations, including failure to file the annual district report.
  • License Revocation: Repeat offenses carry double penalty fines and absolute cancellation of business registrations or licensing permits.
  • Civil Litigation: Risk of severe corporate reputational damage and personal liability lawsuits against board members and executive directors.

Required Documentation Checklists

The following internal policies and setups are audited during compliance inspections:

  • Formal constitution order for the Internal Committee (IC) (Designating Presiding Officer and external NGO member)
  • Board-approved written PoSH Policy document customized for the organization layout
  • Training calendars and sensitization workshop attendance logs (Proof of active program deployments)
  • Completed Annual Report file containing complaint logs and committee hearings submitted to the District Officer
  • Display poster designs outlining PoSH consequences positioned in high-visibility areas of the workplace
