CSR-1 Registration in India

Corporate Social Responsibility is a mandatory compliance to be fulfilled by eligible companies under Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013. Certain companies have to spend 2% of their average net annual profits made during the three immediately preceding financial years, on CSR funds for undertaking CSR projects in India. These include companies that fulfil any of the following conditions:
  • Companies having a net worth of Rs.500 crores or more,
  • Turnover of Rs.1000 crores or more,
  • Net profit of Rs.5 crores or more,
during the immediately preceding financial year. CSR funds can be utilised by companies which undertake CSR activities themselves, or can be granted to NGOs which companies outsource their CSR activities to. For this purpose, the concerned NGOs will be required to obtain registration as “Bodies undertaking CSR activities” with the ROC. The regulation regarding CSR Registration for NGOs was introduced on the 1st of April, 2021. Under the instant scheme the eligible NGO has to register itself with the ROC by filing CSR-1 Application.
