Mr Henry resigned from TVNZ after those comments sparked a diplomatic incident with India.
Complainants now have 20 days to decide whether to take further action with the Broadcasting Standards Authority.
TVNZ spokesperson Megan Richards said the company had done all it could to deal with the comments.
