181 limit on board 5%
prior permission in GM above it

Section 181 of the Act does not prescribe any limit for contribution to bona fide charitable and other funds. However, the limit is provided on power of Board for such contribution. It prescribes that prior permission of members in General Meeting is to be accorded when any amount the aggregate of which, in any financial year, exceed five percent of its average net profits for the three immediately preceding financial years.
