CSR-1 Registration — receive corporate CSR funds

Form CSR-1 registers your NGO with the MCA so companies can route their CSR spend to you. We prepare and file it (professionally certified) and get your CSR registration number.

What it is

Form CSR-1 is filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs to register an NGO as an eligible implementing agency for corporate CSR funds. Once registered, the NGO gets a CSR Registration Number that companies quote when giving it CSR money. The form must be certified by a practising professional.

Who should register

Registered trusts, societies and Section 8 companies (typically with 12A & 80G and a track record) that want to receive CSR funding.
