In order to fulfil these objectives, this study is based on primary data conducted on employees of financial firms in India using Google Forms and survey data will be analysed using SPSS software 22. The finding of this study will be significant, given the enaction of important corporate governance provisions to ensure corporate social responsibility (CSR)” to be applied to companies to meet the given profitability and turnover limits as per corporate governance regulations in the country.
