More activities included under CSR: Pilot

NEW DELHI, The Corporate Affairs Ministry has revamped a company law schedule to add more activities that may be included by companies in their corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies.

 

The revamp comes in the wake of nearly one lakh suggestions received by the Ministry, said Sachin Pilot, Minister of State for Corporate Affairs, on the sidelines of the 12th edition of Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) here, adding that the schedule on CSR activities had been modified and expanded.

 

“We felt there is no harm in upfront expanding the list of activities since so many suggestions have come in this area,” Pilot said, adding that the CSR rules had been forwarded to the Law Ministry for vetting.
