- (a)  :  There  is  no  provision  for  allocation  of  CSR  funds  under  the  CSR  legal framework. However, on the basis of  the  filings  made  by  the  companies  in  the MCA21 registry, the sector-wise CSR expenditure in Maharashtra for the last five financial  years  (FYs)  from  2018-19  to  2022-23  is  at  Annexure-I.  Parliamentary Constituency-wise  data  is  not  maintained  centrally.  However,  district-wise  CSR expenditure district in Maharashtra for the last five financial year from 2018-19 to
- 2022-23 is at Annexure-II.
- (b): Rule 8 of the Companies (CSR Policy) Rules, 2014 provides that every company having average CSR obligation of 10 crore rupees or more in the three immediately preceding financial years, shall  undertake  impact  assessment,  through  an independent agency, of their CSR projects having outlays of one crore rupees or more, and which have been completed not less than one year before undertaking the impact study. Impact assessment reports shall be placed before the Board of the  company  and  shall  be  annexed  to  the  annual  report  on  CSR.  Thus  impact assessment  is  undertaken  by  the  company  and  assessment  is  reviewed  by  its Board.
- (c): The Ministry does not maintain the details of completed/ ongoing projects-wise data. On the basis of the filings made by the companies in the MCA21 registry, the details of CSR expenditure in Osmanabad (Dharashiv) (aspirational district) in Maharashtra  for  the  last  five  financial  years  (FYs)  from  2018-19  to  2022-23  is included in Annexure II.

(d) & (e): 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 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 details of CSR activities, Impact Assessment etc. are required to be reported by the companies in the 'Annual Report on CSR' includin g an annual action plan on CSR which is part of the Company's Board Report. The Government does  not  issue  any  directions  to  Corporates  to  spend  in  any  particular  area  or activity.
