## ANSWER

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)  to  (d):  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. All data related to CSR filed by companies in MCA21 registry is available in public domain and can be accessed at www.csr.gov.in. However, the present CSR filing does not capture the beneficiary-wise details of the CSR projects of the companies. Further, completion status of CSR projects or activities are not maintained separately by the Government.

On the basis of the filings made by the companies in the MCA21 registry, State /UT-wise and development sector-wise details of CSR spent by all the companies during  last three Financial Years (FY) 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 are at Annexure -I & II respectively. Further, the district-wise and development sector-wise CSR spent by all the companies in the state of Andhra Pradesh during last three FY 2018-19, 2019-20 & 2020-21 are at Annexure-III & IV respectively.

(e):    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 CSR framework is disclosure based and CSR mandated companies are required to file details of CSR activities annually in the MCA21  registry.  The  CSR  mandated  companies  are  required  to  provide  additional information in its Profit & Loss Account regarding amount of expenditure incurred on CSR activities, which is required to be audited by the statutory auditor of the company. Further, the Board of the company is also required to disclose in Board report, the CSR Policy  developed  and  implemented  by  the  company,  including  the  details  like  funds earmarked,  expenditure  made,  implementing  agencies  appointed  etc.  The  corporate governance  framework  along  with  the  existing  legal  provisions  such  as  mandatory disclosures, accountability of the CSR Committee and the Board, provisions for statutory audit of accounts of the company etc. provide sufficient safeguards in this regard.
