Are there any legal consequences for filing a false POSH Complaint?

Yes, in case the Complaints Committee arrives at a conclusion that the allegation against the respondent is malicious or the aggrieved woman or any other person making the complaint has made the complaint knowing it to be false or the aggrieved woman or any other person making the complaint has produced any false or misleading document, it may recommend to the employer or District Officer, as the case may be, to take action including a written apology, warning, reprimand or censure, withholding of promotion, withholding of pay rise or increments, terminating the respondent from service or undergoing a counselling session or carrying out community service or any other punishment as defined under the law.
