    • As per Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, every company meeting the prescribed criteria must constitute a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee. The CSR Committee must consist of at least three directors, one of whom must be an independent director. The committee is responsible for formulating and recommending the company's CSR policy, monitoring the implementation of CSR activities, and reporting on the same to the board of directors.

      However, there are no provisions for relaxation in constituting a CSR Committee, even if a company meets the prescribed criteria for applicability of Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013. Therefore, it is mandatory for such companies to constitute a CSR Committee as per the provisions of the Act.

      In case a company fails to comply with the provisions of Section 135, it may be subject to penalties, including fines and legal action. Therefore, companies are advised to comply with the requirements of the Act to avoid any adverse consequences.
