The repercussions of an ICC not being formed at any time since the Act has come into force would be the following: 1. Any woman employee complaining of sexual harassment will, in the absence of the ICC, take her matter to the Local Complaints Committee that is being set up at the District level. This would cause adverse publicity for the company. 2. If the LCC finds or any court finds that ICC has not been formed by the Company it could impose a fine of Rs. 50000 against the company. In case of a continued default the registration of the company or any other licenses to do business could also be revoked. 3. All such actions would be require the presence of the employer who is usually identified as the managing director leading to great discomfort and adverse publicity that could be inimical to business.
