This document provides an analysis of the accounting treatment for unspent CSR obligations under the Ind AS Framework and Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013. The CSR obligation for the year was transferred to a designated ‘Unspent CSR Account’ as required by law, without being recognized as an expense in the financial statements. During the year, a portion of the obligation was spent and recognized as an expense, while the remaining amount remains in the ‘Unspent CSR Account’ and is disclosed as a liability.
The analysis considers whether unspent CSR amounts transferred to the ‘Unspent CSR Account’ meet the criteria for provisions under Ind AS 37 or are to be treated as liabilities in the absence of specific contractual or constructive obligations. It reviews the treatment of CSR expenditures incurred during the year and assesses whether statutory requirements for utilization or transfer of unspent amounts are being adhered to. The document also evaluates compliance with Schedule III, including the requirement to disclose CSR obligations, amounts spent, unspent balances, and plans for utilization of funds in financial statements, ensuring proper presentation and statutory alignment.
