CSR Registration in India – Ensure Corporate Social Responsibility Compliance with Sahyog

Under the Companies Act, 2013, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is not just a moral duty but a legal mandate for certain companies. To undertake CSR activities, eligible companies must register with the MCA by filing Form CSR-1. At Sahyog, we provide expert CSR Registration services, ensuring your business complies with legal obligations and contributes meaningfully to society.

What is CSR Registration?

CSR Registration refers to the process of registering an entity (primarily Section 8 Companies, Trusts, or Societies) with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to undertake CSR activities on behalf of companies. This process involves filing Form CSR-1, which helps verify the credentials of the implementing agency.

As per Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, companies meeting certain financial thresholds must spend 2% of their average net profits from the last 3 years on CSR activities. To receive such funds, your NGO or Section 8 Company must be CSR-registered.
