(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.  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.

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, along with the list of companies eligible for CSR, is available in public domain at www.csr.gov.in. On the basis of filings made by the companies in the MCA21 registry, the details of CSR expenditure in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh for financial years 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 are at Annexure - I & II respectively.

Regarding CSR data for the financial year 2020-21, it is informed that the companies are required to hold Annual General Meeting (AGM) within six months from the end of financial year. Thereafter, financial statements and board report containing disclosure about CSR, are to be filed in MCA21 within 30 days of the AGM. In view of the disruption caused by COVID-19 pandemic, Registrars of Companies have accorded extension of time till 30th November, 2021 for conduct of AGMs by companies. The Ministry vide General Circular No. 17/2021 dated 29.10.2021 has relaxed the levy of additional  fees  till  31.12.2021  for  filing  of  financial  statement  in  respect  of  the financial year 2020-21.
