class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CSR-1 form is the electronic version that can be used as per the provisions of rule 4(2) of the Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Rules, 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CSR-1 form is filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) by those organizations which are eligible to function as implementing agencies for CSR activities of the firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upon acceptance, an organization gets its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mylegalbusiness.com\/csr-registration.php\"><strong>CSR Registration<\/strong><\/a> Number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following organisations may qualify for CSR-1 registration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mylegalbusiness.com\/section-8-company-registration.php\">Section 8 Companies<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Registered

Legislature<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CSR-1 registration has been mandatory for eligible implementing agencies since 1 April 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Purpose_of_Form_CSR-1\"><\/span>What is the Purpose of Form CSR-1?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main purpose of CSR-1 is to ensure transparency and accountability in the utilisation of CSR funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through this registration, the MCA maintains information about organisations eligible to implement CSR projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Advantages of CSR-1 registration include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Legal identification of implementing agencies for CSR.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allocation of CSR money to eligible organizations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increase transparency in CSR actions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proper maintenance of records of implementing agencies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Identification by companies of registered organizations for CSR initiatives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to understand that CSR-1 registration does not automatically make an organisation eligible for every CSR grant. The organisation must also satisfy the applicable eligibility conditions under the CSR Rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eligibility_Criteria_for_CSR-1_Registration\"><\/span>Eligibility Criteria for CSR-1 Registration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As per Rule 4(1) of the Companies (CSR Policy) Rules, 2014, the following categories of entities can act as implementing agencies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Category<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Eligibility requirements<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Section 8 Company formed by a company or a group of companies<\/td><td>Valid registration under section 12A and exempted under section 80G of the Income Tax Act or exemption under section 10(23C) and exempted under section 80G<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Registered Public Trust established by a company or group of companies<\/td><td>Same applicable income-tax registration and approval requirements<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Registered Society established by a company or group of companies<\/td><td>Same applicable income-tax registration and approval requirements<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Separate registration as Section 8 Company, Trust or Society<\/td><td>Section 12A registration and Section 80G approval, or Section 10(23C) exemption and Section 80G approval, together with a three-year history of conducting similar work<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Government-established Section 8 Company, Trust or Society<\/td><td>Established by the Central or State Government<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Statutory entity<\/td><td>Established under an Act of Parliament or State Legislature<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CSR-1_Registration_2025_Amendments_Explained\"><\/span>CSR-1 Registration: 2025 Amendments Explained<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Effective from 14 July 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ministry of Corporate Affairs made significant amendments to its rules through Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Amendment Rules, 2025, which were notified on 7 July 2025 under Notification No. G.S.R. 452(E).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These amendments have replaced the old Form CSR-1 with a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The important changes are discussed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Introduction_of_revised_Form_CSR-1\"><\/span>A.

required validations and certifications, submit the form on the MCA portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upon successful processing, the organisation receives its unique CSR

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Organisations planning to receive CSR funds should keep the following points in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>CSR-1 registration is mandatory for eligible implementing agencies covered under Rule 4(2).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Having a Trust Deed or Society Registration Certificate alone does not automatically make an organisation eligible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The applicable 12A\/12AB and 80G requirements must be fulfilled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Independent organisations must satisfy the three-year track record requirement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The information submitted in CSR-1 must match the organisation&#8217;s official records.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Existing organisations holding a valid CSR Registration Number do not need to reapply solely because of the 2025 amendment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CSR-1 registration does not guarantee the receipt of CSR funding. Companies must independently verify the eligibility and suitability of implementing agencies.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQs\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q1. Is CSR-1 registration mandatory for NGOs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. The NGOs, which include Section 8 Companies, registered Public Trusts and Societies that intend to act as CSR implementing agencies shall register themselves by filling Form CSR-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q2. From when CSR-1 amendment 2025 came into force?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Amendment Rules, 2025 were made applicable from 14 July 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q3. Can a newly registered trust apply for CSR-1 registration?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, but only if it fulfils the eligibility criteria. An independent trust would need a minimum three-year track record in carrying out such activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q4. Is 12A and 80G registration mandatory for CSR-1?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, in case of relevant Section 8 Companies, Public Trusts and Societies it becomes necessary to have 12A registration and 80G approval. In the new form there are some specified categories of Section 10(23C) exemptions along with 80G approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q5. Should an already CSR-1 registered organization file the new form?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. The organizations that already have a CSR Registration Number are not obliged to re-register just because there is a new form, which was introduced in July 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q6. Who can certify Form CSR-1?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be attested by a practising Chartered Accountant, Company Secretary or Cost Accountant after going through the relevant documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q7. Is CSR-1 registration same as 12A and 80G registration?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. They are different registrations or approvals. Sections 12A\/12AB and 80G are related to income-tax provisions while CSR-1 is the registration that comes under the Companies (CSR Policy) Rules for the eligible CSR implementing agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q8. Is NGO Darpan registration mandatory for CSR-1?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. NGO Darpan registration is not a common eligibility criterion for all applicants of CSR-1 registration under Rule 4(1). The applicant should satisfy the particular conditions for the particular category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Formal changes have been made in Form CSR-1 along with some additional information under Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Amendment Rules, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following changes which came into effect from 14th July 2025 have been done with an aim to maintain transparency and accountability of the implementing agency for the CSR activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any non-governmental organizations (NGOs), charitable trusts, societies and Section 8 Companies, if interested in performing any CSR activity, must know about their eligibility and registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow
