Asked by: PARAYAMPARANBIL KUTTAPPAN BIJU

## 3939. DR. P.K. BIJU:

Will  the Minister  of FINANCE  be pleased to state:

- (a) the details  of the funds allocated  under  Corporate  Social  Responsibility (CSR)  by  each Public  Sector Bank (PSB)  during  the last four financial years bank,  State/UT-wise;  and
- (b) the details  of projects  undertaken  by  PSBs under the CSR  during  the last four years along  with  the funds sanctioned  for each projects,  bank,  State/UT-wise?

## ANSWER Minister of State in the Ministry  of Finance

## (SHRI SHIV PRATAP  SHUKLA)

(a) and (b):   As per Reserve  Bank of India   (RBI) inputs,  PSBs are not covered  by  the Companies  Act and hence the Corporate  Social  Responsibility (CSR)  policy  related  policies  of the Companies  Act  are not applicable  to these banks.  RBI has issued guidelines  on Corporate  Social  Responsibility, Sustainable Development  and Non-Financial  Reporting  - Role  of Banks.  Bank-wise  details  of funds allocated  for CSR during  the last four financial years are at  Annexure-I.

***

As per inputs  regarding  details  of project  undertaken, received  from PSBs, the projects  related  to areas such as  skill   development,   support   to  persons   with   disabilities, sanitation,   sports development,   rural development,  natural  calamity  relief,  environment and sustainable  development,  etc. Bank-wise  details  of the  number of  projects   undertaken   and  the  amount   sanctioned   are given   in  Annexure-II.   As  regards State / Union  territory-wise funds sanctioned,  it may  be noted  that  CSR  spending  includes  expenditure on activities   that   are not  attributable to  specific   locations, e.g., Swachh   Bharat Kosh, National   Sports Development   Fund, and  therefore,   it  is  not  possible   to  apportion   CSR   expenditure   State  /  Union Territory-wise. Further,   it may  be noted  that  since most of the projects  are spread across the country, multiple   banks   may be  supporting   a  project   pan-India   and  also  expenditure   towards   contribution to national   level   funds like   Swachh   Bharat Kosh  and  National   Sports   Development   Fund may support multiple  projects,  information in respect  of which  is not  centrally  maintained.
