Amidst the Supreme Court’s nationwide push to tighten POSH compliance across all workplaces, the @Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has now taken an important step by mandating public disclosure of POSH-related data in company filings.
📢 The new notification under the Companies (Accounts) Second Amendment Rules, 2025 makes it mandatory for all public and private companies to disclose specific details related to workplace sexual harassment in their financial statement filings.
What the notification covers:
Effective 14th July 2025, every registered company must report the following in its Director’s Report:
