Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) introduced in India under Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013. The practice of CSR was particularly not very new to the Indian Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) as they had been practicing CSR under the Guidelines on Corporate Governance for Central Public Sector Enterprises, 2010 (issued by the Department of Public Enterprises). Thus, PSUs clearly had an added experience and advantage over other private companies in terms of CSR compliance.
