Abstract:The purpose of the present paper is to study the linkage of CSR initiatives taken by the Indian companies and its impact on their RONW. For this purpose, various financial parameters have been used like Return on net worth, profit before tax and earning per share. Researchers have taken a sample of 5 private companies namely Tata Steel Company, RIL, Mahindra & Mahindra, Infosys and Larsen and Toubro to examine the relationship between corporate social responsibility and RONR by considering their financial statement of five years (from March 2010 to March 2014). The logic behind to take such samples is that these are big private key players with respect to Indian business. After getting all the data, an analysis on the relationship between CSR and other financial parameters like EPS, PBT and RONR are tested by Regression analysis and ANOVA. Irrespective of this general outcome, the current study depicts evidence that there is a insignificant relationship between CSR and Return on Net Worth (RONR) in case of these companies.
