Dear All,

Presiding Officer for POSH IC Committee

For the POSH IC Committee, can the Presiding Officer/Chairperson be a male employee from a senior level internally within the organization? We have constituted a team of 5 employees, comprising 3 mid-level females and 2 senior-level males, all of whom are our employees. We have not involved any females from an NGO/social worker. Is it mandatory to involve any social worker/member from an NGO?

Submission of POSH Annual Report

Also, where should the Annual Report of POSH be submitted? Is it at the Collector Office, Bandra? My corporate office is located in Goregaon East. (We have not received any complaints from any employee regarding harassment; we are doing this solely to comply with the POSH Law.)

Submission of Annual Return under Maharashtra Shops & Establishment Act

Where should the Annual Return (Form R) under the Maharashtra Shops & Establishment Act be submitted? Is it offline?

Please address the above queries urgently.

The Role of the Presiding Officer in the POSH IC Committee

The presiding officer must be a senior-level female employee. Having all three members as mid-level and the male members as senior-level is not advisable. Remember, if the committee's composition is unfriendly to female complainants, the company could face significant issues.

Importance of an External Member

It is advisable to include an external member, as I believe it is a legal requirement.

Hello Sir, I have one query relating to Annual Return Filing for SHOR. For the last 2 months, I have been trying to file the return but have been unable to do so as the website window did not display the required FY-2021-22 for e-filing.
