  • A new sub-paragraph (12) is inserted after sub-paragraph (11) of paragraph 10 of the 1974 Scheme, detailing the special leave provisions.
  • Aggrieved female employees can be granted special leave up to 90 days during the pendency of a sexual harassment inquiry, based on the recommendation of the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.

Impact Analysis

Impact on Employees

  • May lead to increased reporting of sexual harassment cases due to the availability of support mechanisms.

Impact on Organizations
