This Complaint Submission Platform (“Platform”) is created by the Company
exclusively for the confidential reporting and redressal of sexual harassment complaints in
accordance with the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and
Redressal) Act, 2013 (“POSH Act”). By using this Platform, users agree to the following
terms and conditions:
- Purpose of the Platform: This Platform is intended solely for the
submission of complaints related to sexual harassment at the workplace. It is designed
to enable employees and other stakeholders to report incidents covered under the POSH
Act confidentially and securely, for redressal by the Company’s duly constituted
Internal Committee (IC).
- Confidentiality Commitment: The Company is committed to handling all
complaints with the highest degree of confidentiality. Only authorized members of the
Internal Committee will have access to the complaint details. The identity of the
complainant, respondent, and witnesses, as well as all information pertaining to the
inquiry, will be protected as per Section 16 of the POSH Act and relevant Company
policies.
- Data Storage & Usage: All data submitted through this Platform,
including personal information and complaint narratives, will be securely stored and
used solely for the purpose of conducting the internal inquiry, maintaining records, and
complying with legal obligations under the POSH Act. The Company will ensure that such
data is handled in accordance with applicable data protection principles.
- Misuse of Platform: The Platform is to be used responsibly. Submitting
knowingly false or malicious complaints, impersonating others, or interfering with the
functioning of the Internal Committee is strictly prohibited and may attract
disciplinary consequences under the Company’s disciplinary policies and as per Section
14 of the POSH Act.
- No Waiver of Legal Rights: Submitting a complaint through this Platform
does not waive or limit any legal rights available to the complainant under the POSH Act
or any other applicable laws. This Platform is intended to supplement, not replace, any
external legal remedies that may be available.
- Platform Access Monitoring: To ensure system integrity and prevent
abuse, the Company may monitor access to the Platform (e.g., log timestamps or IPs),
while strictly maintaining confidentiality of complaint content. Monitoring is for
compliance and audit purposes only and will not affect complainant anonymity or
protection under the POSH Act.
