For the financial year 2020-21, Form CSR-2 had to be filed separately by March 31, 2022, which was later extended to May 31, 2022. From the financial year 2021-22 onwards, the form must be filed as an addendum to Form AOC-4 or its variants. For the financial year 2023-24, the due date is December 31, 2024.

Failing to file Form CSR-2 can lead to penalties. Under Section 135(7) of the Companies Act, 2013, companies may face a fine of twice the amount required to be transferred to the CSR fund or ₹1 crore, whichever is less. Additionally, directors may be fined up to ₹2 lakh.
CSR is more than just a legal duty — it’s also a moral responsibility. By engaging in CSR activities, companies contribute to the betterment of society.
