POSH Complaints Rise 4.6% in FY26 Among Nifty 50 Companies Amid Growing Awareness
Nifty 50 companies reported 1,327 complaints under the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act in FY26, marking a 4.6% increase from the previous year. This rise follows consecutive annual increases and is attributed by experts to greater awareness and trust in the complaint redressal process rather than an actual increase in harassment incidents. Mandatory employee sensitisation and high-profile cases have encouraged more employees to report issues, reflecting improved workplace responsiveness.
