Discuss the applicability of CRS provisions and the activities listed out under schedule VII. 

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in India is governed by Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, and its associated rules, mandating companies of a certain size and turnover to engage in socially responsible activities. The legal framework for CSR is intended to ensure that businesses contribute to societal welfare beyond their economic interests, helping address issues such as poverty, inequality, education, environmental sustainability, and health. A vital part of this framework is Schedule VII of the Companies Act, 2013, which outlines the areas and activities under which CSR funds can be utilized.

Applicability of CSR Provisions

Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, applies to companies that meet specific criteria, including having a net worth of Rs. 500 crore or more, a turnover of Rs. 1000 crore or more, or a net profit of Rs. 5 crore or more during the previous financial year. These criteria ensure that the obligation to engage in CSR activities is placed on companies with significant financial capacity to contribute towards social welfare.

The CSR provisions under Section 135 require eligible companies to:

• Form a CSR Committee: This committee is responsible for formulating and monitoring CSR policies and activities, ensuring that the initiatives align with the provisions of the law.
• Allocate a Minimum Percentage of Profits: The law mandates that at least 2% of the average net profits of the company over the last three financial years be spent on CSR activities.
• Report CSR Activities: Companies are required to disclose their CSR initiatives in the Annual Report, providing details about the activities undertaken, the amount spent, and the outcomes achieved.
• Board Approval: The CSR activities and budget ________ __________ _________ ___ _______ ____ ______ _______.
