Section
181 of the Companies Act, 2013 prescribes that the Board of Directors of a
company may contribute to bona fide and charitable funds and other funds.
However, prior permission of the company in general meeting is required for
such contribution in case any amount the aggregate of which, in any financial
year, exceeds five percent of its average net profits for the three immediately
preceding financial year. Any contribution made by a company registered under
Companies Act has to be reflected in the Accounts of the company. Government
has not received any suggestion from any quarter to change this standard
accounting practice.
This information was given by Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, MoS in the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.
