THE MINISTER OF CORPORATE AFFAIRS                  (SHRI ARUN JAITLEY) कारपोरेट कार्य मंत्री                                                                                                                    (श्री अरुण जेटली)

(a) to (c):- The Companies Act, 1956/2013 does not contain any provisions related to human rights impact assessment (HRIA) for companies.  Further, National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), which deals with complaints about alleged violation of human rights by a public servant only, does not maintain a separate incident code or record under the head Human Rights Impact  Assessment  (HRIA)  for  companies  in  India.    In  case  of  proven violation  of  human  rights,  NHRC  can  make  recommendations  to  the concerned authorities in Central/State Government. Appropriate recommendations have been made by NHRC to the concerned government authorities  for  relief  /  rehabilitation  of  the  project  affected  in  cases  of displacement of villagers/local people on account of acquisition of lands for  'mega  projects'  in  various  States.    There  is  no  proposal  before  the Ministry  of  Home  Affairs  or  Ministry  of  Corporate  Affairs  to  make  HRIA mandatory for companies.
