## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (e) OF LOK SABHA STARRED  QUESTION  NO.  146  TO  BE  ANSWERED  ON  10.12.2025  ASKED  BY HON'BLE MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT SHRI THIRU THANGA TAMILSELVAN REGARDING ' SCHEMES FOR MINORITIES UNDER CSR '

(a):   Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) provides the legal framework for Corporate Social Responsibility  (CSR)  under  Section  135  of  the  Companies  Act,  2013,  Schedule  VII  of  the Act,  and  the  Companies  (CSR  Policy)  Rules,  2014.  CSR  is  a  Board-driven  process,  and companies are empowered to plan, decide, execute, and monitor their CSR activities based on the recommendations of their respective CSR Committees.

The Government does not issue any direction to companies to undertake CSR activities in favour of any specific community, including minority communities.

As far as the Ministry of Minority Affairs is concerned, no schemes/programmes are implemented  by  the  Ministry  under  CSR,  as  CSR  expenditure  is  undertaken  directly  by companies in accordance with the statutory framework of Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

(b)  and  (c):      Beneficiary-wise  details  of  CSR  expenditure,  including  those  pertaining  to minority  communities,  are  compiled  and  monitored  by  the  respective  companies  as  part  of their  CSR  processes.  All  CSR-related  data  filed  by  companies  in  the  MCA-21  registry  is available  in  the  public  domain  at www.csr.gov.in .  Based  on  the  annual  filings  made  by companies,  State-wise  and  Development  Sector-wise  CSR  expenditure  for  the  last  five financial  years  (FY  2019-20  to  FY  2023-24)  is  enclosed  at Annexure-I and Annexure-II respectively.

(d) and (e):   As of now, there is no proposal under consideration of the Government to revise the standard guidelines to increase CSR activities.
