As per Rule 3, of Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility) Rules 2014, a company which ceases to be a company covered u/s 135(1) for a continuous period of 3 F.Y's is only exempt from incurring CSR Expenditure. In the above case, although the company has incurred loss in the F.Y: 2016-17 but since in 2015-16, its N.P. exceeded 5 crores, it is covered under Sec 135 in the current year and therefore CSR Expenditure will have to be undertaken in 16-17.
