POSH Act Explained: Full Form, Meaning and Compliance Guide

greytHR Free Beginner India

POSH is the compliance founders skip until a complaint or a diligence checklist forces it, and this is a clean, dedicated explainer of the one thing you cannot postpone: an Internal Committee is mandatory the day you cross 10 employees, no exceptions. It spells out the committee makeup (a senior woman as Presiding Officer, an external NGO member) and the policy, training, and display obligations that come with it.

  • An Internal Committee is legally required at 10+ employees, must be chaired by a senior woman, and must include one external member from an NGO or legal background
  • Beyond the committee you owe a written POSH policy, regular training, a defined complaint procedure, and posted POSH information at the workplace
  • Complaints must be filed within three months of the incident, and non-compliance risks fines up to 50,000 plus possible license cancellation
