What ships with POSH
A full Internal Committee, on day one.
IC roster (§4)
Add Internal Committee members with name, designation, photo, term-start and term-end. Required: a Presiding Officer (woman), two members, and an external member from an NGO or person familiar with sexual-harassment issues.
Complaint register
Log every complaint with date, complainant, respondent, summary, IC enquiry outcome and recommendation. Confidentiality enforced at the role level - only IC members see case detail.
Statutory forms
Templates for Forms A through G (complaint, settlement, enquiry report, etc.). Pre-populated with NGO details. Download as PDF, print, file.
Annual return (§21)
Auto-compile the annual return from logged complaints, IC composition, and outreach activities. Submit to the District Officer; archive a signed copy in the document vault.
Awareness register
Track POSH awareness sessions, training dates, attendee lists. Required evidence under §19(c). Upload signed attendance sheets.
Audit-ready
Every record is timestamped, role-scoped and exportable. Compliance auditors and CAs can pull a complete POSH pack in one click for FCRA / ITR-7 scrutiny.
Who needs POSH compliance
If your NGO has 10 or more workers, this is mandatory.
The Act defines "workers" broadly - full-time staff, part-timers, volunteers, contract staff, interns and consultants all count. Most growing NGOs cross the threshold faster than they realise. Non-compliance penalties (§26) escalate from ₹50,000 to license cancellation on repeat offences, and FCRA renewal applications routinely ask for POSH compliance evidence.
District-level POSH compliance audits became more frequent after the 2023 Supreme Court direction in Aureliano Fernandes v. State of Goa. Donateazy's POSH module surfaces the gaps before the auditor does.
