Hi. I am working in a startup based in Bangalore. I was unaware that we need to submit an annual report under the POSH Act and the deadline has passed. If someone can guide me on this? Whether it is mandatory to submit a report? Can we still file a report even though the last date has passed? What would be the possible consequences for late submission?

Yes, it is mandatory for every organization to submit an annual report under the POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) Act. This is a requirement under Section 21 of the Act.
Even though the deadline has passed, it is advisable to submit the report as soon as possible. The report should include the number of complaints received and dealt with during the year, and any action taken on them.
The consequences of late submission can vary. While the Act does not specify any penalty for late submission of the annual report, it is always better to comply with the statutory requirements to avoid any potential legal complications in the future.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to submit the report:
1. Prepare the report detailing the number of sexual harassment complaints received and the action taken.
2. Submit the report to the District Officer. In Bangalore, you can find the contact details of the District Officer on the official website of the Bangalore District Administration.
3. Ensure you have a copy of the report and the submission proof for your records.
Remember, the POSH Act is designed to ensure a safe working environment for all employees. It's important to take these regulations seriously and ensure compliance.
