Will CSR obligations apply if a company has been in existence for less than 3 financial years preceding the financial year ?
Example: A company incorporated on April 01, 2015. In the first year recorded profit of Rs 30 crore, which crossed the threshhold limit of applicbility of Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013. However the company is having only one year profit and unable to work out 2% of average three years profit. Whether any obligation for CSR in the FY 2016-17 for the said company.
