POSH Training & IC Compliance | Dr. Sheettal Rayathatha

Is your company actually compliant?

Under the POSH Act, every organisation with 10 or more employees must:

Constitute an Internal Committee (IC) at each office or branch
Include an External Member on the IC — someone from outside the company with expertise in the issue
Run awareness programmes for employees and orientation for IC members at regular intervals
File an annual report with the District Officer

Non-compliance can attract fines of up to ₹50,000, with heavier consequences for repeat violations — and far greater damage to trust and reputation.

What I offer

Questions

Common questions from HR teams

We are a small company. Does POSH really apply to us?

Yes. Any organisation with 10 or more employees — including interns, contract and part-time staff — must have an Internal Committee and run awareness programmes.

Can the training be done online?

Yes. All sessions run live on Zoom, Google Meet or Teams, so teams in different cities can attend together. On-site sessions are available across South India and Gujarat.

What does an External Member actually do?

The External Member is an independent person on your IC who helps ensure complaints are inquired into fairly. They take part in IC meetings and inquiries and bring outside expertise and neutrality.

How much does it cost?

It depends on team size and services chosen. Share a few details through the form and you will receive a clear, fixed quote — with package pricing for a full year of compliance.

Do participants get certificates?

Yes. Every participant receives a certificate of completion, which also helps as a record for your compliance documentation.
