Service Overview
End-to-end CSR strategy and compliance management.
Under Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, every company in India with a net worth of ₹500 crore or more, turnover of ₹1,000 crore or more, or net profit of ₹5 crore or more during any financial year is required to spend at least 2% of its average net profits on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities.
At SaeSpartner, we provide comprehensive CSR Management Services that cover the entire CSR lifecycle — from policy formulation and CSR committee constitution to project identification, NGO partner vetting, implementation oversight, impact assessment, and annual Board reporting. We ensure your CSR activities are not just legally compliant but also create meaningful, measurable social impact.
Our team has deep expertise in Schedule VII activities (the list of permissible CSR activities under the Act), including education, healthcare, environmental sustainability, rural development, women empowerment, and skill development programs. We help you align your CSR strategy with your brand values while meeting all regulatory requirements under MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) guidelines.
Why is it Important?
CSR compliance in India is mandatory, not optional. Non-compliance can result in penalties of up to ₹1 crore for the company and ₹5 lakh for every officer in default, along with potential imprisonment. Beyond penalties, failure to comply leads to negative publicity and reputational damage that can affect your business relationships, investor confidence, and brand perception.
For international companies entering India, CSR requirements often come as a surprise. Unlike voluntary CSR programs in most countries, India's CSR mandate is legally enforceable with strict reporting requirements. Companies must form a CSR Committee, formulate a CSR Policy, and file annual CSR reports (Form CSR-2) with the Registrar of Companies.
Moreover, well-executed CSR programs serve as a powerful tool for community goodwill, employee engagement, and brand differentiation. Companies that strategically invest in CSR — rather than treating it as a checkbox exercise — build deeper stakeholder relationships and enhance their social license to operate in India. Our team ensures your CSR spending delivers both compliance and genuine impact.
