Equal Employment Opportunity in India
In India, there is no specific Equal Employment Opportunity Act like in the US. However, there is a constitutional provision for the Right to Equality, which prohibits discrimination on grounds such as sex by the State Administration. Therefore, depending on work suitability, if you are limiting the choice to female candidates, it will not be violative of Indian laws.
