Corporate bodies’ involvement in CSR activities is not a new concept in India as earlier the activities were not given the nomenclature but were being done by the industrial houses. Industrial majors are engaged in social development activities since long back. However, the Companies Act, 2013 has sought to regularise the CSR. The concept of CSR is introduced through “Comply-or-Explain” mandate. It mandates qualifying companies to constitute Corporate Social Responsibility Committee to effectively monitor CSR activities of the Company. Further the Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Rules, 2014 (hereinafter referred to as “the CSR Rules”) lay down the framework and modalities for carrying out CSR activities which are specified in Schedule VII of the Act.
