(a) to (e): The legal framework for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is established under Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, along with Schedule VII of the Act and the Companies (CSR Policy) Rules, 2014. The items enlisted in the Schedule VII are broad-based and intended to cover a wide range of activities.
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) Contd…2/-2- 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.
All data related to CSR filed by companies in MCA21 registry is available in public domain and can be accessed at www.csr.gov.in. The District-wise and Development Sector-wise CSR expenditure in Haryana for the last three Financial Years (FYs) i.e 2022-23 to 2024-25 is attached at Annexure-I and Annexure-II respectively. The Ministry does not maintain parliamentary constituency-wise CSR data centrally.
