Abstract

Corporate India invested a record sum of over Rs. 25,000 crores in 2021-22 toward Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) expenditure. The expenditure was made by more than 18,000 companies that cumulatively implemented almost 40,000 projects to address various development issues. Additionally, some companies even exceeded their obligations under Section 135 of The Companies Act, 2013 and spent more than 2% of their net profit over the preceding three years. Even though this resource mobilisation is a result of mandatory regulatory imposition by the government, it reflects the notable role and contribution of India Inc. toward India’s social and developmental issues.
