The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 — commonly known as the POSH Act — is a landmark Indian legislation enacted to protect women employees from sexual harassment at the workplace. The Act was passed following the Supreme Court's landmark judgment in Vishaka & Others v. State of Rajasthan (1997), which mandated guidelines for prevention of workplace sexual harassment.
The POSH Act applies to all workplaces across India — organised and unorganised sectors alike. It defines "sexual harassment" broadly, establishes a structured complaint redressal mechanism through Internal Committees (IC), and mandates employers to conduct regular POSH awareness training for all employees.
Under this Act, every employer with 10 or more employees must: (1) constitute an Internal Committee (IC), (2) display the penal consequences of sexual harassment at the workplace, (3) conduct regular awareness programs, and (4) file an annual report with the District Officer. Regalwhiz Law Chambers — operating from our Chennai office for clients across all states — provides comprehensive POSH training and compliance services for companies of all sizes.
The POSH Act has a wide definition of "workplace" that covers virtually every work environment in India. Understanding the scope helps organisations correctly assess their compliance obligations.
The Act protects all women employees regardless of employment type — permanent, temporary, contractual, part-time, interns, trainees, and even domestic workers. Companies are advised to extend the same protections to all gender identities as a best practice under their POSH policy.
The Internal Committee (IC) is the cornerstone of POSH compliance. Every organisation with 10 or more employees must constitute an IC. This committee is responsible for receiving, investigating, and resolving complaints of sexual harassment at the workplace.
| Member | Qualification | Mandatory? |
|---|---|---|
| Presiding Officer | Senior woman employee at the relevant workplace | Yes |
| Employee Members (minimum 2) | Employees committed to women's causes or with social work experience | Yes |
| External Member | NGO representative or legal expert familiar with women's issues | Yes |
Key requirements: At least 50% of IC members must be women. IC members serve a 3-year term. The Presiding Officer and members should not be of lower seniority than the complainant's level.
Effective POSH compliance requires different training programs for different stakeholders. A one-size-fits-all approach is insufficient for meaningful, audit-ready compliance.
| Training Type | Target Audience | Duration | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Employee Awareness Training | All employees | 1.5–2 hours | Annual + Induction |
| IC Member Training | Internal Committee members | 3–4 hours | Once per term / as needed |
| Leadership & HR Training | Senior management, HR heads | 2–3 hours | Annual |
| Bystander Intervention | All employees (advanced) | 2 hours | Biennial |
| Refresher Training | All employees | 1 hour | Annual |
| Induction Training | New joiners | 45–60 minutes | At joining |
Regalwhiz delivers all formats both online (live webinar + eLearning) and on-site across India. Sessions are available in English, Tamil, and Hindi, with bilingual options for manufacturing and blue-collar workforces.

POSH Act enforcement has intensified significantly in recent years. SEBI made POSH compliance disclosures mandatory for all listed companies from 2023 onwards. Personal liability for directors and officers makes POSH compliance a business-critical priority.
| Violation | Penalty |
|---|---|
| No Internal Committee constituted (10+ employees) | Fine up to ₹50,000 |
| Repeat violation within 6 months | Double penalty + business licence cancellation |
| Non-filing of IC annual report | Fine + personal liability for employer |
| Failure to assist in IC inquiry | Penalties under POSH Act + IPC provisions |
| Retaliation against complainant | Criminal liability + civil damages |
| False/malicious complaint | Action against complainant (with IC determination) |
