Reviewing legal safeguards for women and recommending remedial measures
The National Commission for Women (NCW) is a statutory body set up in 1992 under the National Commission for Women Act, 1990.
Its main functions are to review the constitutional and legal safeguards for women, recommend remedial legislative measures, facilitate redressal of grievances and advise the government on policy matters affecting women.
Fiscal and tax policy is handled by the Ministry of Finance, monetary policy by the Reserve Bank of India, and elections and voter lists by the Election Commission, so those roles do not belong to the NCW.
Hence, Reviewing legal safeguards for women and recommending remedial measures.
