CSR · Panaji, Goa
A clear CSR overview for companies in Goa — who is covered under Section 135, the 2% spend obligation, the CSR committee and policy, the unspent-amount rules, and the CSR-1 and CSR-2 compliances — so your CSR is both impactful and fully compliant.
Overview
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is mandatory under Section 135 for a company that, in the preceding financial year, had a net worth of ₹500 crore or more, turnover of ₹1,000 crore or more, or net profit of ₹5 crore or more. Such a company must constitute a CSR committee, adopt a policy, and spend at least 2% of its average net profit of the preceding three years on Schedule VII activities.
CSR carries real compliance — unspent amounts must be transferred to a specified fund or an Unspent CSR Account, implementing agencies must hold a CSR-1 registration, and the company must report annually in CSR-2. Non-compliance attracts heavy penalties. We advise on applicability, spend and reporting, alongside our company compliance work.

Frequently asked questions
A company is covered under Section 135 if, in the immediately preceding financial year, it had a net worth of ₹500 crore or more, a turnover of ₹1,000 crore or more, or a net profit of ₹5 crore or more. Such companies must constitute a CSR committee, adopt a policy and meet the spend obligation.
A covered company must spend at least 2% of its average net profit of the three immediately preceding financial years on CSR activities falling within Schedule VII of the Companies Act. We compute the exact obligation and help plan compliant spending.
Eligible activities are those listed in Schedule VII — such as eradicating hunger and poverty, promoting education and health, environmental sustainability, and rural development — implemented either directly or through a registered implementing agency. We check that proposed projects qualify.
Unspent CSR amounts must be dealt with as the rules require — for ongoing projects, transferred to an Unspent CSR Account and spent within the permitted period, and otherwise transferred to a fund specified in Schedule VII within the prescribed time. We manage these transfers to keep you compliant.
Failure to spend, transfer or utilise CSR amounts as required attracts a penalty on the company of up to ₹1 crore or twice the amount involved, whichever is less, with a separate penalty on defaulting officers. Sound CSR governance avoids this, which is what we provide.
CSR-1 is the registration that an implementing agency (such as a trust or Section 8 company) must obtain to undertake CSR projects and receive CSR funds, while CSR-2 is the annual report a covered company files with the ROC on its CSR. We handle both filings.
