Amending nearly six decades-old regulations on corporate reporting, the Companies Act 2013 now requires certain categories of businesses, such as medium and large companies, to dedicate 2% of their average annual net profit over three years to CSR activities. The government expects a significant increase in corporate spending on CSR projects.
