Question and options

Under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, 2013, which of the following entities is mandated to constitute an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC)?
  1. Organizations with five or more employees
  2. Organizations with ten or more employees
  3. Only government organizations
  4. Organizations with twenty or more employees

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - Organizations with ten or more employees
Section 4 of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 requires an employer to constitute an Internal Complaints Committee, and Section 6(1) provides a Local Committee for establishments where no ICC is constituted because they have fewer than ten workers. So the ICC is mandatory for organisations with ten or more employees, private as well as government.
