- (c): No Sir. As per Rule 8 of the Companies (CSR Policy) Rules, 2014 contains provisions related to impact assessment of CSR projects that every company having average CSR obligation of 10 crore rupees or more in pursuance of sub-section (5) of section 135 of the Act, 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. The details of CSR  activities, Impact Assessment etc. are required to be reported by the companies in the 'Annual Report on CSR' including an annual action plan on CSR which is part of the Company's Board Report. The Ministry does not maintain the data related to completion status of CSR projects centrally.
- (d) CSR is a Board driven process and the Board of the company is empowered to plan, decide, execute and monitor CSR  activities of the  company based on the recommendation of its CSR Committee. Under CSR framework, companies  need to balance local area preferences with national priorities. The Government does not issue any directions to the companies to spend in a particular area or activity.
