Overview

What is CSR Advisory?

Under Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) compliance is mandatory for companies with a net worth of ₹500 crore or more, a turnover of ₹1000 crore or more, or a net profit of ₹5 crore or more during the immediately preceding financial year. Eligible companies must establish a CSR Committee and ensure they spend at least 2% of their average net profits from the preceding three financial years on approved social activities. Navigating the approved activities under Schedule VII, managing implementing agencies, and handling unspent funds legally can be highly complex. Calcutta Corporate provides comprehensive CSR Advisory services, ensuring your initiatives are legally compliant, strategically aligned with your brand, and accurately reported to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
