The Ministry of
Women and Child Development has also launched an online complaint management
system, titled Sexual Harassment Electronic Box (She-Box),
on 24th July 2017, for registering complaints related to sexual harassment at
the workplace. The She-Box is an initiative to provide a platform to the women
working or visiting any office of Central Government (Central Ministries,
Departments, Public Sector Undertakings, Autonomous Bodies and Institutions
etc.) to file complaints related to Sexual Harassment at workplace under the
Sexual Harassment of Women (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.
Once a complaint
is submitted to She-Box, it will be directly sent to the Internal Complaint
Committee (ICC) of the concerned Ministry/ Department/ PSU/ Autonomous Body
etc. having jurisdiction to inquire into the complaint. The She-Box also
provides an opportunity to both the complainant and nodal administrative
authority to monitor the progress of inquiry conducted by the ICCs.
Hence, the
aggrieved women employee of PCI can also use the She-Box portal for filing
complaints related to Sexual Harassment at PCI by using the following link:

the relevant Act & Rules, Role, Functions, etc. of ICC are given below for
