POSH return, where and how to file ?

🛑 POSH Annual Return: One Location or Multiple ? Clearing the Misconception! 📢 Many companies operating in multiple states often wonder: 📌 “Do we file the POSH annual return only at our registered office, or do we need to file separately for each state where we have offices?” 🔍 The Reality: The filing requirement is based on the jurisdiction where employees work, not just the registered office. Here’s how it works: ✅ If Your Company Has Offices in Multiple States 🌍 Each state has its own compliance requirements. If your organization operates in different states, you may be required to file posh annual returns in each state where you have a workplace presence. ✅ Is One Return Enough? No! A single return at the registered office may not be sufficient. You must check each state’s local authority (district officer or State government ) for specific rules. 🔹 Example: ABC Pvt Ltd has its registered office in delhi but operates in Karnataka and Maharashtra . The company must: 📍 File the POSH return in Delhi (if required by local laws) 📍 Also submit returns in Karnataka and Maharashtra where employees are based 📢 Key Takeaway: POSH compliance is location-specific, not just registered-office-based. Check state-specific rules to avoid non-compliance! ✅ 💬 Still confused? Let’s discuss in the comments! 👇
