02 March 2026 As per the Companies Act, 2013, companies meeting specific thresholds must spend 2% of their average net profits on CSR. Impact assessment expenditure (capped at 2% of total CSR spend or ₹50 lakh, whichever is higher) and administrative overheads (capped at 5% of total CSR spend) are both permissible CSR expenses that count towards fulfilling this 2% obligation.
