NGO and Trust Registration – Build a Legal Foundation

Form CSR-1 Registration is a mandatory compliance requirement for all NGOs, Trusts, and Section 8 Companies that wish to receive Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds from companies. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has made it compulsory for all such entities to register by filing Form CSR-1 online to become eligible for CSR funding. Startup Manager provides end-to-end Form CSR-1 Registration services online to help organizations complete the process quickly, accurately, and without any hassle. With expert professionals and years of experience in NGO and compliance services, Startup Manager ensures that every registration is done in full compliance with MCA norms.

What is Form CSR-1?

Form CSR-1 (CSR Registration Form) is an electronic form introduced by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). It is used by NGOs, Trusts, and Section 8 Companies to register themselves with the Central Government to receive CSR contributions from eligible companies. Once the form is successfully filed and approved, the organization receives a Unique CSR Registration Number, which is mandatory to undertake CSR activities funded by corporates. Without this registration, no NGO or Trust can legally receive CSR funds from any company.

Who Needs to File Form CSR-1?

The following entities must file Form CSR-1 to receive CSR funds:

  • Registered Trusts under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882
  • Registered Societies under the Societies Registration Act, 1860
  • Section 8 Companies registered under the Companies Act, 2013
  • Entities established by the Central or State Government for CSR activities

Documents Required for Form CSR-1 Registration

To file Form CSR-1 online, the following documents are required:

  • PAN Card of the NGO/Trust/Section 8 Company
  • Registration Certificate of the entity
  • Trust Deed / Memorandum of Association (MOA) / Articles of Association (AOA)
  • Details of the Governing Body Members
  • Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) of the authorized signatory
  • PAN and Aadhaar Card of the authorized signatory

Benefits of Filing Form CSR-1

  • Eligibility for CSR Funding – Only registered entities can receive CSR contributions from companies.
  • Enhanced Credibility – Registration builds trust among corporates and donors.
  • Transparency and Compliance – Ensures compliance with MCA norms and CSR rules.
  • Access to Corporate Partnerships – Enables collaboration with reputed companies for social projects.
  • Increased Funding Opportunities – Entities with CSR-1, 12A, and 80G registrations attract more donors and CSR partners.

Importance of 12A and 80G Registration for NGOs

Along with CSR-1 registration, NGOs and Trusts should also obtain 12A Registration and 80G Certificate from the Income Tax Department.

  • 12A Registration allows NGOs to claim income tax exemption on their surplus income.
  • 80G Certificate enables donors to claim tax deductions on donations made to the NGO.

Having both 12A and 80G registrations increases the credibility of the organization and makes it more attractive to corporates for CSR funding. Startup Manager provides complete assistance for 12A Registration80G Certificate Application, and CSR-1 Registration Online under one roof.
