corporations to be socially responsible to contribute towards economic, social and
environmental development that creates positive impact on society at large.

turnover of Rs 1,000 crore or net profit of Rs 5 crore, needs to spend at least 2% of its
average net profit for the previous three financial years on Corporate social responsibility
