Brave Ltd. is listed at Bombay Stock Exchange and has a net worth of over ₹600 crore. The company has constituted a corporate social responsibility (CSR) committee with Jay and Vijay as its members. Both Jay and Vijay are directors of the company, Jay being an independent director. Explaining the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 relating to 'corporate social responsibility', examine whether the company has complied with the provisions of the Act in this regard.

Answer & Explanation:

In accordance with the section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, every company having net worth of ₹500 crore or more, or turnover of ₹1,000 crore or more or a net profit of ₹5 crore or more during any financial year shall constitute a Corporate Social Responsibility Committee of the Board consisting of three or more directors, out of which at least one director shall be an independent director. Since the company in question has a net worth of ₹600 crore which is more than the required sum of ₹500 crore, the company has to comply with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, presently, company has only two directors, accordingly there is a need to reconstitute the CSR Committee of Brave Ltd.
