"The government assuredus that no punitive actionwill be taken against the cor-porates if the CSR norms arenot met," said Sajjan Jindal,chairman of JSW Group af-ter the meetiug.

The government recentlyamendedthe Companies Act,2013, to add a new penal pro-vision as per which the err-ing officials of the companieswhich fail to spend 270 oftheir profits on the CSR mayface up to three years of im-prisonment. Earlier, therewas a provision of only fineof up to Rs 25 lakh.

"The question was asked(from industry leaders) doyou want to have this limitof CSR. Industry sald yes,we should have it. Industryonly said let's not have anypenal provision Iike jail andall. There can be oversightof CSR money spent or notbut there should not be anyimprisonment," Aiay Pira-mal, chalrman of PiramalGroup, said.

"Given the fiscal con-straints, the government canraise resources by monetis-ing the land lying idle. Theland can be used for afforda-ble housing and developingnew projects," suggested B KGoenka, Associated Cham-bers of Commerce & Indus-try (Assocham) president andwelIpTiGffip chai rman, as

he sought a stimulus packageof Rs 1 Iakh crore from thefinance minister.

Conlederation of IndianIndustries (CII) chief andvice chairman of ToyotaKirloskar Vikram Kirloskarand Federation of IndianChambers of Commerce &Industry (FICCI) presidentSandip Somany also attend-ed the meeting.

The issues related to non-banking flinancial cornpanies(NBFCs), Iiquidity, financeand steel sector were also dis-cussed during the meeting.

"The main issues werethat the liquidity in the sys-tem is tight. It is not thatthere is a lack of liquidity in

the banks, but the lending isnot taking p1ace. Stress isthere in the economy as tar asNBFC sector is concernedand because of NBFC what ishappening in the other sec-tor, whether it is automo-biles, home loans, and smalland medium enterprises. ..
