I want to know if there is any procedure for the selection of members of the Grievance Redressal Committee as per the Industrial Disputes Act. In the Act, I could not find how to form the committee. Is the selection of members simply by nomination by HODs and by unions, or is there any specific procedure?

Committee Composition and Chairperson Selection
The Committee is expected to have a maximum of six members, of which at least three should be workers. If there are women employees and the total number of committee members is two, at least one member should be a woman. The number of women members should be proportionately increased in relation to the total number of members in the committee. For instance, in a four-member committee, at least two should be women, and in a six-member committee, three should be women. From these members, one person will be selected as the Chairperson and will serve in that role for one year. If the first Chairperson is chosen from management representatives, the next Chairperson should be selected from the workers' members.
In addition to the above, there are no strict rules regarding the formation of the Grievance Redressal Committee.

Dear Colleagues, Please refer to the provisions inserted under the ID Act related to Grievance Redressal as below:
On the enforcement of section 7 of Act 46 of 1982, a new chapter IIB shall stand inserted as directed in section 7 of that Act. For the text of section 7 of that Act, see Appendix.
“Chapter II-B
GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL MACHINERY
9-C. Setting up of Grievance Redressal Machinery.
(1) Every industrial establishment employing twenty or more workmen shall have one or more Grievance Redressal Committees for the resolution of disputes arising out of individual grievances.
(2) The Grievance Redressal Committee shall consist of an equal number of members from the employer and the workmen.
(3) The Chairperson of the Grievance Redressal Committee shall be selected from the employer and from among the workmen alternately on a rotation basis every year.
(4) The total number of members of the Grievance Redressal Committee shall not exceed more than six:
Provided that there shall be, as far as practicable, one woman member if the Grievance Redressal Committee has two members, and in case the number of members is more than two, the number of women members may be increased proportionately.
(5) Notwithstanding anything contained in this section, the setting up of the Grievance Redressal Committee shall not affect the right of the workman to raise an industrial dispute on the same matter under the provisions of this Act.
(6) The Grievance Redressal Committee may complete its proceedings within thirty days on receipt of a written application by or on behalf of the aggrieved party.
(7) The workman who is aggrieved by the decision of the Grievance Redressal Committee may prefer an appeal to the employer against the decision of the Grievance Redressal Committee, and the employer shall, within one month from the date of receipt of such appeal, dispose of the same and send a copy of his decision to the workman concerned.
(8) Nothing contained in this section shall apply to the workmen for whom there is an established Grievance Redressal Mechanism in the establishment concerned.”
I hope it's now clear.
