CSR rules amended to widen canvas for India Inc

New Delhi. The Centre has broad-based the entities available for carrying out  corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities.
 
India Inc can now get CSR implemented through a foundation or trust or society set  up by the Centre, State government or any entity established under the Act of  Parliament or State legislature.
 
This could be done without having to worry about existence of three year track  record in undertaking similar projects or programmes.
 
“We have widened the canvas for corporates. They need not bother about floating  their own foundations or trusts or society for undertaking CSR. They can now use  the vehicles set up by the Central, State governments or entities set up by an Act  of Parliament or State legislatures to carry out CSR,” a senior corporate affairs  ministry (MCA) official said.
