## 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) & (b): On the basis of annual filings made by the companies in the MCA21 registry, State-wise CSR expenditure in India and CSR Expenditure in Bhiwani and Mahendragarh districts in Haryana during the Financial Years 2021-22 to 2023-24 is at Annexure-I & Annexure-II respectively.

(c):  Under  the  Companies Act, 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.  This  Committee formulates  and  recommends  the  CSR  policy,  which  outlines  the  activities  to  be undertaken  by  the  company  in  alignment  with  the  areas  or  subjects  specified  in Schedule VII of the Act. The first proviso to Section 135 (5) of the Act provides that the company  shall  give  preference  to  the  local  area  and  areas  around  it  where  it operates.  However, the emphasis on local area is only directory and not mandatory in nature and companies need to balance local area preference with national priorities. The Government does not issue any specific direction to the companies to spend in any particular geographical area or for any particular activity.  The Ministry does not maintain parliamentary constituency-wise CSR data centrally.
