In 2026, POSH compliance is strictly enforced as a governance mandate in India. While there is no official "registration certificate" for the POSH Act itself, the term usually refers to the mandatory registration on the SHe-Box portal and the filing of Annual Reports.
Legally, you cannot backdate a new registration on the government's SHe-Box portal because the system records the actual date of submission. However, if your Internal Committee (IC) was already formed, you can use existing internal documentation to show past compliance:
Internal Formation Order: If you have a written order constituting the IC (signed and dated when it was formed), this serves as your primary proof of existence.
Past Activity Records: Meeting minutes, training attendance logs, and internal annual reports from previous years can demonstrate that the committee was active even if it wasn't registered online.
The "Register Now" Mandate: As of August 12, 2025, the Supreme Court and Ministry of Women & Child Development have mandated that all organizations must register their IC on the SHe-Box portal. If you haven't done this yet, you should register immediately to avoid being flagged as non-compliant.
