Is there any specific time frame for filing a POSH Complaint?

Yes, the limitation period for filing a POSH Complaint is defined in Section 9 of the POSH Act which states that the complaint must be reported within a period of three months from the date of incident and in case of a series of incident, within a period of three months from the date of last incident.

Provided further that the Internal Committee may, for the reasons to be recorded in writing, extend the time limit not exceeding three months, if it is satisfied that circumstances were such which prevented the woman from filing a complaint within the said period.
