Mumbai employers with ten or more workers at a workplace must constitute an Internal Committee, publish a POSH policy, conduct awareness programmes and prepare an annual report each calendar year. Mumbai carries two local layers: the District Women & Child Development Officer has issued a public notice requiring establishments with ten or more employees to constitute an IC and register its details on the SHe-Box portal, and the Maharashtra WCD Government Resolution of 22 August 2025 directs establishments to appoint Nodal Officers and display the SHe-Box link.
This is the single most useful thing a Mumbai employer can know about POSH filing. Greater Mumbai is administered as Mumbai City and Mumbai Suburban — two separate revenue districts. An organisation with a Nariman Point or Lower Parel office and a second office in Andheri, Goregaon or Powai may be dealing with two District Officers.
Confirm which district each of your Mumbai premises falls under, and the current submission route and deadline for each, before you file. The POSH Act does not fix a national deadline — most districts follow 31 January for the preceding calendar year, but this is practice, not statute.
Organisations with offices in Thane, Navi Mumbai or Kalyan are in further districts again, with their own District Officers.
The Maharashtra Women & Child Development Department's Government Resolution of 22 August 2025 directs government, semi-government and private establishments to constitute Internal Committees, appoint Nodal Officers, support compliance monitoring and display the SHe-Box link for filing complaints — issued in line with the Supreme Court's directions in the ongoing POSH implementation matter.
The Mumbai District Women & Child Development Officer's public notice separately required private establishments with ten or more employees to register IC details on SHe-Box, with reporting indicating the same direction extended to Thane district.
It depends on whether your premises fall in Mumbai City or Mumbai Suburban district. Confirm the district for each location — reporting follows the district, not the city name.
The Mumbai District Women & Child Development Officer has issued a public notice requiring establishments with ten or more employees to constitute an IC and register its details on SHe-Box. Treat it as required and verify the current instruction.
Yes, if you have ten or more workers. The obligation attaches to you as the employer.
The Act requires a committee at every office or administrative unit. Different districts also mean separate reporting. Take advice on how to structure coverage across locations.
Yes, and for shop-floor and support staff it is usually more effective. What matters for compliance is that the session happened and is evidenced by a dated attendance record.
