## ANSWER

(SHRI RAM CHANDRA PRASAD SINGH)

(a)to(e):  The amount under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is allocated and utilised by various Companies in accordance with the broad framework provided by the  Government  under  section  135  of  the  Companies  Act,  2013  ('Act')  and Companies (CSR policy) Rules, 2014, as amended from time to time. The Act, interalia,  stipulates  that  companies  exceeding  the  threshold  limits,  as  specified  in  the Companies Act, 2013, have to allocate at least 2% of their average net profits of the company  made  during  the  three  immediately  preceding  financial  years  for  CSR activities.  The  Board  of  a  company  is  empowered  to  plan,  decide,  execute  and monitor CSR activities of the company. Schedule VII of the Companies Act indicates the  activities  that  can  be  undertaken  by  the  companies,  which,  inter  alia,  include Health care, Education and Rural Development Projects, etc. Further, the first proviso to section 135 (5) of the Act provides that the company shall give preference to local areas and the areas around it where it operates.  No funds are received from State Governments under CSR.

Year-wise  details  of  CSR  amount  and  expenditure  incurred  on  major  CSR activities in various States/UTs by CPSEs under the Ministry of Steel during the last three years, i.e. 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21, are given at Annexure -I.
