How to Apply for CSR-1 Registration Online?

To apply for CSR-1 Registration online, NGOs must first obtain NITI Aayog Registration through the NGO Darpan Portal, which provides a Unique Identification Number (UIN). Additionally, they must have 12A and 80G Registration to qualify for tax benefits and CSR funding. Next, they should visit the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) website and download Form CSR-1. The form must be filled with the organization’s details, uploaded along with the necessary documents, and digitally signed by a Chartered Accountant (CA), Company Secretary (CS), or Cost Accountant. After verification, the MCA issues a CSR-1 Registration Certificate, making the NGO eligible to receive CSR Funds from corporate donors.
