All proposals must comply with the provisions of Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, and the Companies (CSR Policy) Rules, 2014, including their subsequent amendments. Additionally, proposals must adhere to CSR guidelines issued by the Department of Public Enterprises. It’s important to note that the issuance of this call does not imply any obligation on AIASL’s part to fund or approve any of the proposals. Submitting a proposal is only an expression of interest and does not ensure evaluation or selection. AIASL holds complete discretion to accept, reject, or consider any proposal, regardless of whether it was submitted through this specific call.
