Complaint procedure :
Complaint regarding Sexual Harassment against Women can be made either in paper form or by
sending e-mail. The Act stipulates that aggrieved woman can make written complaint of sexual harassment at workplace
to the ICC or to the LCC (in case a complaint is against the employer), within a period of three months from the
date of incident and in case of a series of incidents, within a period of three months from the date of last
incident. As per the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Rules, 2013, in
case the aggrieved woman is unable to make a complaint on account of her physical incapacity, a complaint may be
filed inter alia by her relative or friend or her co-worker or an officer of the National Commission for Women or
State Women's Commission or any person who has knowledge of the incident, with the written consent of the
aggrieved woman.
Ministry of Women & Child Development launched an online complaint management system titled
Sexual Harassment electronic -Box (She-Box) on 24th July,
2017 for registering complaints related to Sexual Harassment at workplace. The She-Box is an initiative to provide a
platform to the women working or visiting any office of Central Government (Central Ministries, Departments, Public
Sector Undertakings, Autonomous Bodies and Institutions etc.) to file complaints related to Sexual Harassment at
workplace under the Sexual Harassment of Women at workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.
Once a complaint is submitted to She-Box, it will be directly sent to the Internal Complaint
Committee (ICC) of the concerned Ministry/ Department/ PSU/ Autonomous Body etc. having jurisdiction to inquire into
the complaint. The She-Box also provides an opportunity to both the complainant and nodal administrative authority
to monitor the progress of inquiry conducted by the ICCs.
