This section does not empower any company to make any contribution to any political party or for any political purpose, to any individual or body, in the absence of provisions to that effect in the 'objects' clause of its Memorandum of Association.

Thanks.But i want to know whether it can make contribution in excess of 5% of average net profit?

No, the section has used the word "shall not contribute in excess of 5%". So you can not contribute more than that.

Whether the company can make Political contribution if it has made loss in current year?
23 July 2025
Can the company make political contributions if it incurred a loss in the current year?
✅ Yes, provided:
The company has been in existence for at least 3 financial years, and
The average net profits of the last 3 preceding years is positive.
The contribution cap is based on average of prior 3 FYs, not the profit/loss in the current year.
However, if the average of the past 3 years is nil or negative, then no contribution is allowed—because 5% of a negative or zero profit is zero.
