🔥Delhi Government Cracks Down on Sexual Harassment: SHe-Box Registration Now MANDATORY for All Private Companies!
🚨 URGENT COMPLIANCE ALERT for Employers in Delhi NCR!
In a decisive move to crush workplace sexual harassment, the Government of NCT of Delhi, through its Women & Child Development Department, has issued a Public Notice enforcing compulsory registration of all private sector organizations on the SHe-Box Portal — an online sexual harassment complaint platform created under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.
✅ Deadline: Immediate compliance expected. Delay can attract serious legal and reputational consequences.
🧨 What Is SHe-Box?
SHe-Box (Sexual Harassment Electronic Box) is a centralized, government-run online platform that allows women employees—in both organized and unorganized sectors—to directly file complaints related to sexual harassment at workplaces.
➡️ Website: https://shebox.wcd.gov.in
Once submitted, the complaint goes directly to the appropriate internal complaints committee or the District Officer, ensuring real-time tracking and accountability.
📌 Why Is It MANDATORY?
The Public Notice issued by the Delhi Government is based on compliance with the directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the landmark case:
Every private sector employer in Delhi must register their organization on the SHe-Box portal to:
-
Enable employees to file online complaints
-
Maintain a national database of POSH-related complaints
-
Ensure institutional accountability and transparency
-
Avoid contempt of Supreme Court directives
🚩 Who Needs to Register?
All Private Sector Entities, including:
- IT/ITES companies
- Startups
- MNCs
- Manufacturing Units
- MSMEs
- Contracting Agencies
- NGOs
- Hospitals
- Schools/Colleges (Private)
No one is exempt. Even if you have 0 complaints—registration is mandatory.
⚠️ Consequences of Non-Compliance
Ignoring this mandate is not an option.
❌ Non-registration = Violation of POSH Act + Disobedience of Supreme Court Order
🔴 Potential Outcomes:
- Legal action under Section 26 of POSH Act
- Liability for damages to victims
- License or registration cancellations (in serious cases)
- Negative publicity, brand damage, public shaming

- Conduct regular awareness sessions
