Abstract
A clause in the Companies Act of 2013, mandates that companies allocate two percent of their revenues to the CSR initiatives. The goal of this research is to examine the reasons behind the CSR expenditure gap in India. Following our directions, the sample consisted of 200 respondents who filled out the survey. The survey concluded with a question designed to collect data on the proportion of a company's budget allocated to CSR initiatives. Colleagues participated in the pilot research, and their input was utilized to refine the questionnaire. One of the most significant markers of a company's connection with society is its level of (CSR), even though the CSR effect operations cannot always be quantified in terms of financial allocations. The results suggest that the inclusion of this provision is a sensible move on the part of regulators aiming to increase the social responsibility of businesses.
