MCA Extends CSR-2 Filing Deadline till March 31, 2025: Second Amendment to Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2024

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has extended the deadline for filing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reports until March. The extension also includes the second amendment to the Companies (Accounts) Rules, which impacts the filing process. This extension provides companies with additional time to comply with CSR reporting requirements. The amendment to the rules is aimed at improving the efficiency and transparency of CSR activities. Companies now have more time to meet the compliance requirements, ensuring that their CSR initiatives are adequately documented. This decision is expected to ease the burden on companies and encourage more comprehensive CSR disclosures.
