Hello dear members, I want to know which is the section in which penal provision for non compliance of CSR requirement is mentioned? Thanks in advance

There is no penal provision for non compliance of CSR. Here I assume that non-compliance means the company has failed to spend the 2% of Avg Net Profit on CSR activities.
However, disclosure is to be made in the Board's Report as per Sec 134 of the Co's Act, 2013

Hi! I got to know penal provisions in various websites. Extracts Failure to Comply While a company is not subject to liability for failing to spend on CSR, a company and its officers are subject to liability for not explaining such a failure in the annual report of the board of directors. There is currently no guidance as to what constitutes a sufficient or statutorily valid explanation for failure to spend in the board report. In addition, a company and its directors are liable even if they fail to report on CSR activities that actually were conducted. Failure to explain is punishable by a fine on the company of not less than 50,000 rupees (about U.S. $900) and up to 25 lakh rupees (about U.S. $46,000). Further, officers who default on the reporting provision could be subject to up to three years in prison and/or fines of not less than 50,000 rupees (about U.S. $900) and as high as 5 lakh rupees (about U.S. $9,200).
