In the era of intense competition, financial gain supersedes ethics and customs; whistle blowing has turned out to be a matter of utmost importance to ensure good corporate governance. In this article Whistleblowing policy implemented by twenty nine countries have been included. In India parliament has approved The Whistleblowers Protection Act, 2014 but the same is yet to be implemented. In the interim, Whistleblowers are stirred to make a complaint about corporate frauds and malpractices under the Companies Act, 2013 and the SEBI legislations. However, Whistleblowers security against any retaliation still remains an illusion in India.Downloads
