How to File a Sexual Harassment Complaint: Step-by-Step Guide

The complete procedure for filing a harassment complaint at the workplace, before the Ombudsperson, and in court.

Step 1: File a written complaint with your organisation's internal inquiry committee within 30 days. Step 2: The committee must conclude proceedings within 30 days. Step 3: If unsatisfied with the committee's decision, appeal to the Ombudsperson within 30 days. Step 4: If the Ombudsperson's order is not implemented, file an execution petition in court. Step 5: If the harassment constitutes a criminal offence (assault, intimidation, stalking), file an FIR with the police. The complainant's identity is protected under the Act, and victimisation of the complainant is itself an offence.
