Dear Pooja,

Please use the following link to download the template for the Annual report. It also contains the list of District officers specific to the locations. https://forms.zohopublic.com/virtualoffice17143/form/POSHAnnualReportTemplate/formperma/Qs0-alGU-ir-DjS3pih5TEIN68cNztL-HfKxL-HvQ84

The law requires that each and every office, including branch offices, with 10 employees or more has to have its own Internal Committee. This may be an administrative challenge, but you can have some committee members who are common across some committees, even if they are not from that location. Do note that in case a complaint is filed in any branch location, the non-local committee members should be prepared to travel for in-person hearings, and to conduct any part of the inquiry that needs to be done physically. – KelpHR

Unfortunately, ignorance of the law does not excuse the non-compliance. You could start with making the most recent filing (for the year 2020, presumably) with the relevant district officer. And speak to them about filing the annual report for the previous year as well. Depending on when the company became subject to the law, you may need to file for the years prior to 2019 as well. If no workshops or awareness programs have been conducted, please state nil or zero. Please contact KelpHR at +91-9500129652 or email info@kelphr.com for further assistance regarding filing and training sessions. Thank you. – Team KelpHR

Yes it is possible to appoint senior women members who work out of the head office or any other company location. If any case arises in this branch office, the women members should be willing to travel for in-person hearings, and to conduct any part of the inquiry that needs to be done physically.
