Author(s)	Amit Mishra

Abstract	Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has evolved from a discretionary practice to a mandatory obligation under the Companies Act, 2013 in India. This article critically analyzes the legal implications of CSR initiatives, examining its historical development, international and national regulatory frameworks, practical implementations through case studies, and ethical considerations. The enactment of CSR mandates has significantly increased corporate engagement in social welfare, yet challenges persist in ensuring meaningful impact and ethical alignment. The article recommends enhancing accountability through rigorous monitoring and clear guidelines, integrating CSR with national development goals, and leveraging technology for transparent and effective implementation. Looking forward, the future of CSR in India hinges on refining legal mechanisms, fostering genuine corporate responsibility, and aligning business strategies with sustainable development objectives to maximize societal impact.
