Yes, As per Rule 4 of CSR Rules, The Board of a Company may decide to undertake its CSR activities approved by the CSR Commitee through a Company established under section 8 of the act or a registered trust or a registered society either singly or along with the other Company.
Yes, Section 8 Company can be made as the wholly owned subsidiary Company of the Company of which CSR expenditure will be spent in future.
