What this guide covers
The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act requires a redressal mechanism for covered complaints. The correct committee depends on the workplace and circumstances. Limitation, confidentiality and interim-measure rules matter, so obtain current advice promptly.
What to do now
Write a factual chronology identifying incidents, dates, places, witnesses and requested relief. Preserve original communications. Submit to the competent committee and obtain acknowledgement. Avoid publishing confidential proceeding material.
Keep these records
Keep messages, emails, call logs, diary notes made close to events, witness details, workplace policy, complaint and every committee communication.
Where to go
Use the employer's Internal Committee, the district Local Committee where applicable, or NCW for matters within its mandate.
Important
This guide provides general legal information, not case-specific advice. Procedure, limitation periods, authorities and remedies can vary by state and facts. Verify the current official rules before acting.
