## 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): The legal framework for CSR is provided through Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('Act'), the Companies (CSR Policy) Rules, 2014 and Schedule VII of the Act.    The  Schedule  VII  indicates  the  activities  that  can  be  undertaken  by  the companies  as  eligible  CSR  activities.  On  the  basis  of  the  filings  made  by  the companies  in  the  MCA21  registry,  the  state/UT-wise  aggregate  amount  of  CSR expenditure by PSUs & Non- PSUs during the last five financial years (FYs) i.e 201819 to 2022-23 is at Annexure-I.

(b): There is no provision to receive any CSR amount by the Government under the Act.  However,  Section  135  (5)  of  the  Act  provides  that  every  CSR  mandate companies shall spend at least 2% of the average net profit of the company made during  the  three  immediately  preceding  financial  years.  The  Ministry  does  not maintain the industrial centre-wise CSR expenditure. However, on the basis of the filings made by the companies in the MCA21 registry, district-wise CSR expenditure including Kasargod district in Kerala during the last five financial years (FYs) i.e 2018-19 to 2022-23 is at Annexure-II.

(c): CSR is a Board driven process and the Board of the company is empowered to plan, decide, execute and monitor the CSR activities based on the recommendations of its CSR Committee. The Government does not issue specific directives to the companies regarding spending in any particular geographical area or activity.  The  Board  of  the company  is  required  to disclose   the  CSR  Policy

implemented by the company in its Board report and the Board of the company has to satisfy itself that the funds so disbursed have been utilised for the purposes and in  the  manner  as  approved  by  it,  and  the  Chief  Financial  Officer  or  the  person responsible  for  financial  management  shall  certify  to  the  effect.  The  CSR Committee shall formulate and recommend to the Board, an annual action plan in pursuance of CSR policy, which includes the modalities of utilization for funds, monitoring and reporting mechanism for the projects or programs and details of impact assessment, if any, for the projects undertaken by the company. The details of  CSR  activities,  Impact  Assessment  etc.  are  required  to  be  reported  by  the companies in the 'Annual Report on CSR' in cluding annual action plan on CSR which is part of the Company's Board Report. CSR mandated companies who have their websites are required to make disclosures such as composition of CSR Committee, CSR  Policy  and  CSR  projects  approved  by  Board  on  their  website.  The  CSR framework is disclosure based and expenditure on CSR activities is required to be audited by the statutory auditors of the company. The Ministry has notified the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2020, ('CARO, 2020') applicable from FY 2021 -22 which requires auditors to state details of any unspent CSR amount. 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 mechanisms to ensure transparency and accountability.

(d): There is no provision to receive any CSR amount under the Act. State/UT-wise CSR expenditure by PSUs and Non-PSUs in the country during the last five financial years (FYs) i.e 2018-19 to 2022-23 is included in Annexure-I.
