## [RAO INDERJIT SINGH]

(a) :  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 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 the Companies in the MCA21 registry, the CSR spent by the companies in the States/UTs, including Rajasthan during the last three Financial Years (FY) i.e., 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 respectively are at Annexure. Further, the companies are required to file the CSR data for the financial year 2021-22 on or before 31.03.2023.

- (b) & (c): 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 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 safeguards in this regard. Whenever any violation of CSR provisions is reported, action against such non-compliant companies is initiated as per provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 after due examination of records and following due process of law. Now, the non-compliance of CSR provisions has been converted as a civil wrong w. e. f. 22nd January, 2021.
