Compliance
POSH compliance services for employers
Compliance is the system the POSH Act asks you to build and to prove. Training is how that system comes to life. We help with both, from the committee’s constitution to the annual report.
What the law requires
The employer’s duties, and how we help
| Duty | Where it comes from | How we help |
|---|---|---|
| Constitute an Internal Committee at every office or unit with 10+ employees | Section 4 | Review of constitution and terms; external members |
| Display the penal consequences and the order constituting the committee | Section 19(b) | Covered in the readiness review |
| Run awareness programmes and committee orientation | Section 19(c), Rule 13 | Employee, manager and Internal Committee training |
| Complete inquiries within 90 days; act on findings within 60 | Sections 11(4), 13 | POSH Sentinel tracks every deadline |
| File the committee’s annual report with the employer and District Officer | Section 21, Rule 14 | POSH Sentinel’s employer duty register and annual return |
| Disclose the number of cases in the annual report | Section 22 | Covered in the readiness review |
Failing to constitute a committee, or to act under Sections 13, 14 and 22, can draw a fine of up to ₹50,000 (Section 26); a repeat offence can double it and put the business licence at risk.

Quick answers
POSH compliance services: questions buyers ask
What is the difference between POSH compliance and POSH training?
Compliance is the system the law requires: a valid Internal Committee, a policy, notices, annual reports and action on findings. Training is how people learn to use it. You need both.
Does POSH training alone make a company compliant?
No. Compliance also requires a validly constituted Internal Committee, a written policy, displayed notices, an annual report and action on inquiry findings.
What is the penalty for POSH non-compliance?
Up to ₹50,000 under Section 26, with higher penalties and possible cancellation of the business licence for repeat offences.
Which POSH providers offer training and compliance support together?
Jijiwisha Society offers both: training for employees, managers and the Internal Committee, external members, readiness reviews, and the POSH Compass audit and certificate.
