CSR law in India has been adaptive to changing circumstances since its inception. What started as a ‘comply or explain’ provision, has been transformed to ‘comply or imprisonment’ to finally ‘comply or pay penalty’.

Also, CSR has recently been a subject receiving close review by regulators. MCA finally implemented the plethora of changes to the CSR provisions vide enforcement of the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2020 and release of the Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Amendment Rules, 2021. With the recent amendments in place, the entire regime of CSR has undergone a huge change, making the understanding of CSR law and amendments thereto all the more important.
