Government data spotlights a CSR boom: Indian firms spent more than ₹1.44 lakh crore from FY2019-20 to 2023-24, fueling community development nationwide.
In his Rajya Sabha response, Minister Harsh Malhotra pointed to the MCA21 portal as the go-to hub for CSR transparency, detailing expenditures by geography, period, entity, and scheme.
Directors shoulder full CSR accountability—designing, deploying, and auditing programs. Companies crossing ₹10 crore average CSR thresholds over three years face compulsory third-party impact audits on ₹1 crore+ projects, one year after finish.
The portal’s track record impresses: 3.84 crore submissions (2021-2025), including 3.33 crore instant approvals, 40.8 lakh ROC/RD nods, and 8.3 lakh dismissals.
MCA21 V3 elevates the game with user-centric upgrades: intuitive web filing, dedicated LLP/company sections, automated enforcement/adjudication, virtual consultations, and a learning management system.
Help desk excellence? Over 3.16 lakh tickets in FY25-26 (till Jan 2026), 98% fixed—tech issues, clarifications, procedural asks, feedback.
“Annual form deluge necessitates constant evolution,” said Malhotra. These strides fortify compliance culture, empowering corporates to amplify social good while navigating a digitized regulatory framework seamlessly.
