CSR Filing and Compliance

Companies that meet the CSR threshold must spend a portion of their profits on eligible social activities and report it to the MCA. CSR compliance isn’t just about spending money. It involves planning projects, monitoring implementation, maintaining records, and filing detailed returns.

We manage the entire CSR compliance cycle so your company stays aligned with legal requirements and avoids penalties.

What we do

Check CSR eligibility and calculate mandatory spending
Draft the CSR Policy and committee resolutions
Assist in selecting and evaluating eligible CSR projects
Monitor utilisation of CSR funds
Prepare the Annual CSR Report
File CSR-2 with the MCA
Maintain documentation for audits and due diligence

Why this matters

Incorrect reporting or unspent amounts can lead to penalties on the company and its officers. Clean CSR compliance keeps your governance strong and protects you during scrutiny by auditors, investors, or the MCA.
