Government Schemes under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Schedule VII of the Companies Act, 2013 lists activities eligible for expenditure by companies for implementation of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and includes building of schools, etc.

This being the first year of implementation of CSR policies, relevant company filings would be available only towards end of the year 2015. It is premature to form an idea about the actual implementation at this juncture.

This was stated by Shri Arun Jaitley, Minister of Corporate Affairs in written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha today.
