VIGIL MECHANISM:
The Vigil Mechanism is designed to ensure the highest standards of ethical, moral, and legal conduct in business operations. It empowers stakeholders to "blow the whistle" on irregularities without fear of punishment or unfair treatment.
Core Objectives:
- Safe Reporting: To provide a formal platform for directors and employees to report concerns regarding unethical practices.
- Protection: To provide adequate safeguards against the victimization of persons who use such a mechanism.
- Direct Access: In exceptional cases, it allows for direct access to the Chairperson of the Audit Committee.
Applicability:
Under the Companies Act, 2013 (Section 177) and SEBI (LODR) Regulations, a Vigil Mechanism is mandatory for:
- Every listed company.
- Companies that accept deposits from the public.
- Companies that have borrowed money from banks and public financial institutions in excess of ?50 Crore.
How it Works?
- Reporting: An individual identifies a "Protected Disclosure" (e.g., financial irregularities, leakage of confidential info, or safety risks).
- Investigation: The designated Audit Committee or Vigilance Officer conducts a neutral inquiry.
- Confidentiality: The identity of the whistleblower is kept strictly confidential to prevent any professional retaliation.
