## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CORPORATE AFFAIRS AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS

[SHRI HARSH MALHOTRA]

(a): Public Sector Banks (PSBs) are not incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013,  and  Corporate  Social  Responsibility  (CSR)  related  provisions  of  the Companies Act, 2013, are not applicable to PSBs. However, PSBs undertake CSR related activities as per Reserve Bank of India's Guidelines and approved policy of their respective Boards in this regard.  The CSR spending by PSBs includes expenditure  on  various  activities  spread  across  the  country  with  multiple organisations  supporting  pan-India  projects,  such  as  Swachh  Bharat  Kosh, National Sports Development Fund, Clean Ganga Fund, PM's National Relief Fund, etc.

(b):  The  legal  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. On the basis of annual filings made by companies in the MCA 21 registry, the district-wise & sector-wise CSR expenditure in Rajasthan by all CSR mandated companies for the last five financial years (FY)  i.e,  2018-19,  2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 are attached at Annexure-I & Annexure-II respectively.
