    Abstract:

    In recent years we have seen great interest among researchers on Corporate social
    responsibility, as a result it garbed increased notice as a means for sustainable
    development. India is the first country to legally mandate specific spends on CSR for
    all the corporate firms based on the profit, or income, or net worth criteria following an
    amendment to the Companies Act, 2013 in April 2014. The Act also stipulates the
    activities and areas that would be eligible for the said purpose. My thesis sheds light on
    the subtleties of section 135 of India’s Companies Act, 2013 which relates to CSR and
    explains the criteria for the companies to contribute two percent of their average net
    profit in the past three years. In case of violation by firms for failing to contribute the
    mandated amount, the board requires them to provide the reasons and basis to validate
    their stance. This thesis also aims to analyze the impact that the mandatory CSR
    regulation may have on companies CSR Spending. Analysis of the CSR scenarios in
    India prior to and post 2013, the year in which legislation was passed. I have further
    discussed the drivers and barriers to CSR spending. Primary data collection through
    brief interview with the expert and collection of data from the surveys and databases
    such as Companies Act of 2013, Ministry of corporate affairs websites, National CSR
    portal, and the Indian Institute of corporate affairs. Using above-mentioned approaches,
    I have reached a conclusion that there is a significant increase in CSR activity among
    the firms affected by Section-135.

    Keywords: Corporate Social Responsibility, Companies Act, 2013; India, Mandatory
    CSR, CSR Effectiveness, Covid-19, Motivations, Challenges.
