Interestingly MCA has fetched this data with a cut off date of 31 December 2016, but many companies have filed their balance Sheet with annual reports to Registrar of Companies (ROC) in January and February 2017 (or still filing by paying late fee) too. “That being the reason CSR spend for FY16 would surely be much more and we will again compile the database for increased number of companies in coming months,” informs the official.
