What is the POSH Act?

Understanding India's landmark law on workplace safety for women.

The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013

The POSH Act is a mandatory Indian legislation that requires every organisation with 10 or more employees to have a formal policy against sexual harassment, constitute an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC), and conduct regular awareness and training programs for all staff. Non-compliance can lead to financial penalties, licence cancellation, and reputational damage. The law protects all women in the workplace — employees, interns, contractual workers, and visitors.

Is POSH Training Mandatory for Your Organisation?

Yes. Every employer with 10 or more employees is legally required to conduct POSH awareness and training. Failure to comply can result in a fine of up to ₹50,000 for first-time offenders, doubling for repeat offences, along with possible cancellation of business licences. The law applies to all sectors — private companies, NGOs, educational institutions, factories, shops, and government bodies.

Seminar Agenda

A focused, 2-hour live session covering everything your organisation needs to know.

Introduction to the POSH Act

An overview of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013 — its objectives, scope, definitions of sexual harassment, and what behaviours are covered under the law. Understanding who the Act protects and the types of workplaces it applies to.

Legal Obligations of the Employer

Detailed breakdown of what every employer is legally required to do — framing a POSH policy, displaying notices, conducting training, submitting annual reports, and ensuring a safe working environment. Common compliance gaps and how to fix them.

ICC — Formation & Functioning

How to correctly constitute an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) — eligibility criteria, composition requirements (including an external member), tenure, and the committee's roles and responsibilities. Practical guidance on how ICC meetings should be conducted and documented.

Complaint Handling Process

Step-by-step walkthrough of how a complaint must be received, acknowledged, and investigated. Timelines under the law, principles of natural justice, confidentiality obligations, interim relief, and how to write a proper inquiry report with findings and recommendations.

Case Studies & Best Practices

Real-world case studies illustrating common workplace scenarios, how organisations handled (and sometimes mishandled) POSH complaints, and the lessons learned. Best practices from leading companies for creating a truly harassment-free culture beyond mere legal compliance.

Live Q&A Session

Open floor for participants to ask questions directly to the expert trainer — covering specific organisational scenarios, doubts about the law, ICC procedures, documentation requirements, or anything from the session. Every question gets a direct, practical answer.

Key Legal Concepts Covered

The seminar ensures you are fully equipped on every critical aspect of POSH compliance.

Definition

What Counts as Sexual Harassment?
Physical contact, verbal conduct, display of pornographic material, demand for sexual favours, and any other unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature — including digital and remote communication.

Scope

Who is Protected?
All women — permanent, temporary, contractual, part-time, daily wage, apprentices, interns, and visitors at any workplace including homes (for domestic workers).

Committee

ICC vs LCC
Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) for organisations with 10+ employees; Local Complaints Committee (LCC) through the District Officer for smaller organisations or cases against employers.

Timeline

Complaint & Inquiry Timelines
A complaint must be filed within 3 months of the incident. The inquiry must be completed within 90 days. The employer must act on the ICC's report within 60 days.

Annual

Annual Reporting Obligation
Employers must submit an annual POSH compliance report to the District Officer, including number of cases filed, disposed of, and pending. Non-submission is itself a punishable offence.

Penalty

Consequences of Non-Compliance
Fine of ₹50,000 for first offence; doubled for repeat offences. Possible cancellation of business licence. Civil and criminal liability for the employer and responsible officers.

Common questions about the POSH seminar and the Act itself.

Is this seminar mandatory for my company?

Does the POSH Act apply to men and non-binary employees too?

The POSH Act specifically protects women at the workplace. However, many organisations implement broader internal policies covering all genders. The seminar covers the Act as legislated, along with best-practice guidance for inclusive workplace safety policies.
