It is a comprehensive process of assessing the impact created by the company in the lives of the beneficiaries. Assessing the impact of a CSR project helps to understand the impact outcome of the project.



The CSR for companies has been controlled by the Companies Amendment Act under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). From 22 January 2021, the provisions for impact assessment have come into effect. According to the rules declared on 22 January 2021, the companies with an average CSR obligation of INR 10 Crore or more in the preceding three financial years will have to undertake an impact assessment with the help of an independent agency. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has estimated the CSR expenditure to have increased approximately over INR 70,000 Crores.


So, in accordance with the new rules, it is mandatory for all the companies fulfilling the mentioned criteria, undertaking CSR activities to register themselves with the Central Government by filling the electronic CSR- 1 form for all the CSR projects effective from April 1, 2021. After registering, a unique CSR number will be generated. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs will have an account of the registration numbers of all the companies enrolled. In this way, the execution of the CSR activities can be monitored and assists in timely execution of the proposed activities.
