- (a) & (b): The details of funds allocated and utilized under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)  by the  Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) under this Ministry is  annexed.

(c) to (e): Department  of  Public  Enterprises  (DPE)  under  the  Ministry  of  Finance,  the Nodal Department for CSR has informed that CSR activities of corporate including CPSEs are  governed  as  per  Section  135  of  Companies  Act,  2013  which  inter-  alia  prescribes  the criteria for companies falling under the ambit of CSR, activities covered under CSR and the amount to be allocated for CSR activities.  It is, however, mentioned that the DPE has been issuing guidelines from the financial year 2018-19 to all administrative Ministries and CPSEs for adopting a theme-based focused approach every year on CSR expenditure by the CPSEs. These  instructions, inter-alia, provide that CSR expenditure for such thematic programmes should be around 60% of annual CSR expenditure of CPSEs and the aspirational districts as identified by NITI Aayog may be given preference in CSR expenditure.
