Frequently Asked Questions

Reviewed by the HRTailor policy team. Last updated: 2026-09.

What HR policies are mandatory for Indian companies?
Mandatory policies include Anti-Sexual Harassment under the POSH Act 2013, Equal Opportunity, Leave Policy per each state's Shops and Establishments Act, Maternity Benefit (26 weeks paid leave under the 2017 Amendment), Gratuity Policy, and Whistleblower and Grievance Redressal. Under the Labour Codes in force since 21 November 2025, several additional standing orders and wage-related declarations also apply.
How many HR policies does HRTailor create for a new company?
HRTailor delivers a handbook of 15 to 20 policies covering attendance, leave, code of conduct, disciplinary action, travel and expense, work from home, probation, notice period, confidentiality, IT and asset use, data privacy, moonlighting and separation. POSH policy, Internal Complaints Committee setup and POSH secretariat are available as an add-on service.
How long does it take to create HR policies from scratch?
A complete HR policy handbook is delivered within 10 to 15 business days end to end: drafting, legal compliance review against current Indian labour law, management review, and final documentation. Updates to existing policies typically take 3 to 5 business days.
Are HR policies legally binding in India?
Yes. HR policies become legally binding once communicated to employees and acknowledged, whether through the offer letter, employee handbook or HRMS sign-off. Under the Industrial Disputes Act (and the Industrial Relations Code 2020 in force since 21 November 2025), consistently applied policies can be treated as standing orders and are enforceable.
What is the penalty for not having a POSH policy?
Under the POSH Act 2013, every workplace with 10 or more employees must have an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) and a written POSH policy. Non-compliance can result in a fine of up to ₹50,000 for the first offence and cancellation of business licence or registration for repeated violations.
