MINISTER  OF  STATE  (INDEPENDENT  CHARGE)  OF  THE  MINISTRY  OF  STATISTICS  AND PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION; MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY  OF  PLANNING  AND  MINISTER  OF  STATE  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF  CORPORATE AFFAIRS

## [RAO INDERJIT SINGH]

(a):  The broad framework for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been provided under Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('Act'), Schedule VII of the Act and Companies (CSR Policy) Rules, 2014. Section 135 of the Act mandates every company having net worth of Rs. 500 crore or more, or turnover of Rs. 1000 crore or more, or net profit of Rs. 5 crore or more during  the  immediately  preceding  financial  year,  to  spend  at  least  two  per  cent  of  the average net profits of the company made over immediately preceding three financial years towards CSR as per the CSR Policy of the Company. Schedule VII of the Act indicates the activities that can be undertaken as CSR. Under the Act, CSR is a Board driven process and the Board of the company is empowered to plan, decide, execute and monitor CSR activities based  on  the  recommendations  of  its  CSR  committee.  The  Government  has  no  role  in deciding the CSR funds to be spent by the companies in a particular geographical area or activity.

The CSR architecture is disclosure based and CSR mandated companies are required to file details  of  CSR  activities  annually  in  MCA21  registry.  All  data  related  to  CSR  filed  by companies in MCA21 registry including details of projects are available in public domain and can be accessed at www.csr.gov.in. On the basis of the filings made by companies in the MCA 21 registry, district-wise details  of CSR spent by all the companies in the  State of Odisha during last three Financial Years (FY) 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 are at Annexure. Further, the companies are required to file the CSR data for the financial year 2021-22 on or before 31.03.2023.

- (b): As per the legal framework, the companies are not required to disclose the amount likely to be spent under CSR in the future years.
