4. Women related issues

The number of women working in organisations is increasing. The number of

women coming into contact with organisations as customers is also increasing

as more and more women support their families by taking up more

responsibilities. There are also women entrepreneurs providing various

services to organisations like supplying flowers, housekeeping, running

canteens and so on. There are women who are taking up jobs as guards and

bouncers in bars and pubs, as many ladies visit these places.

5. Caste related issues

Behaviour that is discriminatory or disrespectful of persons belonging to the

scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, backward classes, dalits and other such

groups will invite severe penalties. The offence does not have to be only in

matters related to jobs. Any personal remark or action that is derogatory can

become an offence.

6. Consumer related issues

The Consumer Protection Laws provide relief to consumers if there is

deficiency of service. The relief granted can be heavy if the deficiency is proved

to be as a result of neglect.
