Whistle Blower Mechanism under Companies Act, 2013

This query is : Resolved 

10 May 2022 Whether an outsider (not a former employee) (may or may not be a stakeholder) is covered under the Whistle Blower Mechanism under the Companies Act, 2013 ? If covered, whether he/she gets any protection just like the Directors and Employees of the company ?

11 May 2022 A whistle Blower may be outside the organization who discloses any illegal, immoral or illegitimate practices to the company.
He/She may be;
Lawyers
Media
Law enforcement
Watchdog agencies.
A Whistleblower could be a contractor, or a supplier who becomes aware of any illegal activities.

No victimisation possible for outsider hence no protection needed like employees and directors.

11 May 2022 Thanks for the clarification, sir.

11 May 2022 You are welcome............
