What is CSR-1 Registration?

Effective from April 1, 2021, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has made it mandatory for all NGOs wanting to undertake CSR activities to register themselves with the Central Government by filing Form CSR-1.

The primary goal of Form CSR-1 is to monitor CSR activities and ensure that the funds allocated by corporates for social welfare are being spent through registered and verified entities. Upon successful filing, the NGO is issued a unique CSR Registration Number.

Benefits of CSR-1 Registration

Ensure your NGO is fully compliant and ready to partner with corporate India.

Unlock CSR Funding

Corporates can only donate their CSR funds to NGOs that have a valid CSR-1 registration number. No registration means no CSR money.

MCA Recognition

Getting registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs adds a layer of formal recognition and trust to your organization's profile.

CSR-1 registration makes your NGO's data publicly verifiable on the MCA portal, making you a more attractive partner for big brands.
