Dealing with Sexual Harassment ComplaintsThe Reserve Bank had introduced a formal Grievance Redressal
Mechanism in 1998 to deal with complaints of sexual harassment of
women, in compliance with the Supreme Court Guidelines of August 13
1997. These guidelines need to be revisited in conformity with the
provisions of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prohibitio
Prevention and Redressal) Act, 2013 and Sexual Harassment of Women
at Workplace (Prohibition, Prevention and Redressal) Rules, 2013. The
Bank is, therefore, in the process of preparing a new comprehensive set
of guidelines for dealing with such complaints. These guidelines are
proposed to be issued during 2014-15.

understood by and well communicated to, the common person." The
