CSR-1 Registration Services

If an NGO, trust, society, or Section 8 company wants to undertake CSR activities on behalf of companies, CSR-1 registration becomes an important requirement. Without proper registration, an implementing agency may not be eligible to receive CSR funding from companies for eligible CSR projects.

At N D Savla & Associates, we help organizations with CSR-1 registration compliance in a clear and practical manner. From checking eligibility to preparing documentation and filing the form correctly, we support the entire process so your organization can move forward with confidence.

Whether you are setting up as a new implementing agency or regularizing your compliance for CSR funding opportunities, proper CSR-1 filing is an important step.

CSR-1 Overview

CSR-1 is a registration form required to be filed by entities that intend to act as implementing agencies for undertaking CSR activities on behalf of companies under the Companies Act, 2013.

This form is relevant for eligible entities such as:

  • Section 8 companies

  • registered public trusts

  • registered societies

Once the entity satisfies the prescribed conditions and completes the required filing, it can be recognized as an implementing agency for CSR purposes, subject to applicable law and eligibility requirements.

CSR-1 registration helps create a formal compliance framework for organizations that want to participate in CSR implementation and receive CSR funds from companies for approved projects and programs.

Why CSR-1 Registration Matters

CSR-1 registration is important because companies are required to engage eligible implementing agencies for CSR projects in accordance with the legal framework. If the implementing agency is not properly registered where required, it can affect the company’s CSR compliance as well as the organization’s ability to receive CSR support.

Proper CSR-1 registration helps:

  • establish eligibility for CSR implementation

  • improve credibility with donor companies

  • support lawful receipt of CSR funds

  • strengthen compliance position

  • reduce the risk of rejection or procedural errors

  • create confidence during due diligence by companies

For NGOs and non-profit entities, this registration often becomes a key step in accessing structured CSR opportunities.
