The deductibility of payments out of the CSR funds as a donation under the Indian tax law severely undermines the legislative intent of addressing the menace of tax subsidization of corporate CSR burden through the 2014 amendment, even though there is some judicial support for its deductibility. This article argues against its deductibility from two perspectives: firstly, from the point of view of the meaning and context of donation in Indian tax law and the tests laid down by the Indian Supreme Court in this regard; and secondly in terms of it being a colourable attempt at tax subsidizing.
