It has come to the notice of ONGC that certain unscrupulous individuals and entities
are approaching beneficiary organizations and implementing agencies, falsely claiming that
CSR funds from ONGC can be facilitated in exchange for commissions, fees, or other forms of
economic gratification.
Such fraudulent practices need to be nipped in the bud. ONGC hereby clarifies the following:
-
All CSR initiatives of ONGC are undertaken with beneficiary organizations, either directly
or through registered implementing agencies, strictly in accordance with
ONGC’s CSR Policy (published on the ONGC corporate website) and applicable
statutory guidelines.
-
Implementing agencies and stakeholders are strictly advised not to entertain
or fall prey to any such demands from persons misrepresenting themselves in the name of ONGC.
-
Any approach seeking monetary or other gratification in connection with ONGC’s CSR
activities should be treated as fraudulent and immediately reported.
