## 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) & (b): 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.  The  CSR  framework  is  disclosure based and CSR mandated companies are required to file details of CSR activities annually in the MCA21 registry.  All data related to CSR filed by companies in MCA21 registry is  available  in  public  domain  at  www.csr.gov.in.  On  the  basis  of  annual filings made by Companies in the MCA21 registry, District-wise details of the CSR spent by various public and private sector companies in the State of Maharashtra during the Financial Years (FY) 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 are at Annexure - I.

(c):    No,  Sir.  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 mandated companies are required to provide additional information in their Profit & Loss Account regarding the amount of expenditure incurred on CSR activities and the same is required to be  audited  by  the  statutory  auditors  of  the  company.  Further,  the  Board  of  the company is also required to disclose the CSR Policy implemented by the company in  its  Board  report.  Thus,  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 adequate scope to review the works done by them. (d):  Under  the  Act,  there  are  no  provision  for  allocation  of  CSR  funds.  However, 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. On the basis of annual filings made by Companies in the MCA21 registry, State/UT-wise details of CSR spent (including Maharashtra) by companies during the FY 2018-19, 2019-20 & 2020-21 are at Annexure -II. Further, the companies are required to file the CSR data for the financial year 2021-22 on or before 31.03.2023. Moreover, filings for current financial year i.e. FY 2022-23 are required to be made only after the end of financial year.
