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, the CSR expenditure by PSUs and Non-PSUs in Barabanki for last three financial years (FY) i.e, 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 are attached at Annexure-I and II respectively.

Funds Sanctioned by PSUs in Barabanki Under CSR

## QUESTION

(c): Through the Companies (Amendment) Acts, 2019 and 2020, certain amendments to Section 135 of the Act have been made to provide for treatment of unspent CSR amount on the basis of nature of the project. In case of an ongoing project, the company is required to transfer the unspent amount to a special account of the company i.e 'Unspent CSR Account', within 30 days from the end of financial year and spend the same in pursuance of its CSR policy within the next three financial years from the date of such transfer. After lapse of three financial years,  the  amount  remaining  unspent,  if  any,  is  required  to  be  transferred  to  any  Fund mentioned in Schedule VII of the Act. In case of other than an ongoing project, the company is required to transfer the unspent CSR amount to any Fund mentioned in Schedule VII of the Act within a period of six months from the end of the financial year.
