What is CSR 1 Registration?

CSR 1 Registration is the process by which eligible NGOs register with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs to receive Corporate Social Responsibility funds from companies obligated under Indian law.

• This registration is completed through the CSR-1 form, introduced in April 2021.
• It acts as official recognition of the NGOs legitimacy and compliance, ensuring transparency in CSR fund allocation.
• Only organizations registered under specific acts, such as the Societies Registration Act, Indian Trusts Act, or Companies Act (Section 8), can apply.
• Once registered, the NGOs details are listed on the MCA CSR portal, visible to companies for project partnerships.

CSR 1 Registration is therefore essential for securing corporate funding and contributing to socially impactful projects in India.
