Pune employers with ten or more workers at a workplace must constitute an Internal Committee, adopt a POSH policy, run awareness programmes and prepare an annual report each calendar year. Maharashtra adds a State layer: the 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 and display the SHe-Box link for complaint filing.
Pune district covers a wide industrial and technology footprint — the Hinjawadi IT belt, Kharadi and Magarpatta, the Pimpri-Chinchwad industrial area and the Chakan-Talegaon manufacturing corridor.
For POSH, that geography produces a specific pattern: many Pune employers have a corporate office and one or more plants inside the same district. Reporting may therefore consolidate at the district level, but the committee obligation does not. Section 4 requires an Internal Committee at every office or administrative unit. A plant with 200 workers and no committee of its own is non-compliant even if the corporate office 20 kilometres away has an excellent one.
Confirm the current District Officer, submission format and deadline for Pune district before filing, and check separately for any facility in Pimpri-Chinchwad or an adjoining district. The POSH Act sets no national deadline; district practice commonly follows 31 January for the preceding calendar year.
A committee that works in an IT office often fails on a shop floor. Three adjustments matter:
The Act requires a committee at every office or administrative unit. A plant is an administrative unit — plan for its own committee.
The Maharashtra WCD Government Resolution of 22 August 2025 directs establishments to constitute ICs, appoint Nodal Officers and display the SHe-Box link. Registration should be treated as required; verify the current instruction for your district.
If both fall in the same district, the district may accept a consolidated report — but maintain unit-wise records either way, and confirm the district's current format.
Yes. Contractor-supplied workers count towards the ten-worker threshold.
The Act requires them at regular intervals without fixing a number. One employee session and one IC orientation per year, evidenced by dated attendance records, is the accepted standard.
