According to the 2013 guidelines (Company Act, 2013) states,

Corporate Social Responsibility is the process by which the managers of an organization think about and evolve their relationship with stakeholders for the common goods, and demonstrate their commitment in this regard by adoption of appropriate business process and strategies. Thus Corporate social responsibility is not charity or mere donations.
