SHe-Box Registration – Complete Guide for Employers

Everything Employers Need to Know About SHe-Box Registration, Internal Committee Onboarding and POSH Compliance in India.

The Sexual Harassment Electronic Box (SHe-Box) is a centralized online portal developed by the Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD), Government of India to strengthen implementation of the POSH Act, 2013.

With increasing regulatory focus, judicial observations and state-level advisories, SHe-Box registration is rapidly becoming an essential compliance expectation for organizations employing 10 or more employees.

What is the SHe-Box Portal?

SHe-Box is a single-window digital platform that allows women employees across public and private sectors to file complaints of workplace sexual harassment under the POSH Act, 2013.

Major Relaunch: The portal was significantly upgraded on 29 August 2024 with enhanced compliance monitoring and mandatory Internal Committee onboarding.

Key Features

  • Central repository of Internal Committees (ICs)
  • Online complaint filing and tracking
  • Confidential complaint management
  • Regulatory monitoring and oversight
  • Annual report and training record management

Why is SHe-Box Important?

  • Strengthens implementation of the POSH Act
  • Improves transparency and accountability
  • Enables centralized compliance monitoring
  • Facilitates complaint handling and tracking
  • Demonstrates employer commitment towards safe workplaces
Important: SHe-Box registration does not replace existing POSH compliance requirements such as POSH Policy, Internal Committee constitution, awareness training and annual reporting.

Who Needs to Register?

Organization Type Requirement
10 or More Employees Must constitute Internal Committee (IC)
