CSR expenditure.

Hi, whether donation of laptop to Police department can be construed as CSR expenditure? Thank you.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether donating laptops to the police department qualifies as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) expenditure under the Companies Act 2013. The consensus is that such donations are not covered under Schedule VII of the Act and therefore do not qualify as CSR. The thread also briefly touches upon the compliance requirements for unspent CSR funds, noting that failure to transfer them to a specified account within 30 days constitutes non-compliance.

As I understand, such contributions are not covered under schedule VII of Companies Act 2013. So not a CSR expenditure.
Thank you

These activities are allowed as CSR Expenditure

  • Eradicating extreme hunger and poverty
  • Promotion of education
  • Promoting gender equality and empowering women
  • Reducing child mortality
  • Improving maternal health
  • Combating human immunodeficiency virus, acquired, immune deficiency syndrome, malaria and other diseases
  • Ensuring environmental sustainability,
  • Employment enhancing vocational skills, social business projects
  • Contribution to the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund or any other fund set up by the Central Government or the State Governments for socio-economic development, and
  • Relief and funds for the welfare of the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes, other backward classes, minorities and women and such other matters as may be prescribed.

to donate laptop is not under any social projects so you can't take it as CSR Expenditure. 

Thank you so much
No it should not be treated as CSR activities

 such contributions are not covered under schedule VII of Companies Act 2013. So not a CSR expenditure.

Always Check Schedule VII for CSr Expenditure.
