Why this toolkit
Most POSH non-compliance isn’t intentional. It’s procedural.
These are the gaps we see again and again in POSH audits. Each can weaken an inquiry or invite a fine of up to ₹50,000 under Section 26.
Findings not shared
Final report issued without giving both parties the findings to make a representation.
Missed 7-day notice
Copy of the complaint not sent to the respondent within seven working days.
IC out of compliance
External member’s term lapsed, or the IC falls below 50% women when one member leaves.
SHe-Box not on-boarded
No Nodal Officer; IC details and annual report not uploaded on the SHe-Box portal.
Board’s Report gaps
Complaints received, disposed and pending over 90 days not disclosed as now required.
What’s inside
Six modules. Every document you need.
Editable Word files with placeholders in [brackets], a “How to use” note on every template, and the section or rule cited for each step.
