Important Deadline Alert: January 31st is Just Around the Corner
Organizations in the impact sector, take note! The critical deadline for POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) compliance is fast approaching on January 31st. This isn’t just another administrative task – it’s a crucial step in creating a safe, respectful, and legally compliant workplace.
Key Compliance Requirement: PoSH Annual Return
What You Need to Know:
- The PoSH Annual Return MUST be submitted to the District Officer by January 31st
- Non-submission of the annual return constitutes non-compliance
- Failure to file may lead to penalties of up to INR 50,000
Why POSH Training and Reporting Matters
Sexual harassment prevention is more than just a legal requirement. It’s about:
- Creating a safe and inclusive work environment
- Protecting your employees’ dignity and well-being
- Demonstrating organizational commitment to ethical practices
- Mitigating potential legal and reputational risks
Do you know?
- Even if there are no reported POSH Complaints in a year, you still need to file the Annual Report on 31st January.
- The report needs to be filed by the ICC or LCC and not the HR or Management.
- The report should maintain strict confidentiality and anonymize sensitive data while disclosing statistics or case details.
