Good to know

Who needs an Internal Committee

Every employer must set up an Internal Committee by written order (section 4). Where fewer than ten people work and no committee exists, complaints go to the district Local Committee (section 6).

Who must be on it

A senior woman as presiding officer, at least two employee members, and one external member. At least half the members must be women (section 4).

Reports and duties

The committee sends an annual report to the employer and the District Officer (section 21). Employers report case numbers in their annual report and run awareness programmes (sections 19 and 22).

Penalty

Not following the Act can lead to a fine of up to ₹50,000, and more for repeat breaches (section 26).
