An employer can be subjected to a penalty of up to INR 50,000 for:
• Failure to constitute Internal Complaints Committee
• Failure to act upon recommendations of the Complaints Committee; or
• Failure to file an annual report to the District Officer where required; or
• Contravening or attempting to contravene or abetting contravention of the Act or Rules.
Where an employer repeats a breach under the Act, they shall be subject to:
• Twice the punishment or higher punishment if prescribed under any other law for the same
offence.
