What is CSR Registration?
CSR Registration is the mandatory process for NGOs, Trusts, Societies, and Section 8 Companies in India that wish to receive corporate donations under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). This registration is done by filing Form CSR-1 with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Once approved, the organization receives a CSR Registration Number, which is essential for receiving CSR funds from eligible companies under Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013.
