What are the Key Steps for NGO CSR Compliance?

NGO CSR compliance in India requires registering on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs portal and obtaining funding eligibility. Have a look at the following steps as discussed below:

Step 1: Check Eligibility – The first step requires non-governmental organizations to ensure they are registered under Sections 12A and 80G of the Income-tax Act.
Step 2: Secure Darpan Registration – The next step requires non-governmental organizations to register on NITI Aayog’s NGO Darpan portal to obtain a unique ID.
Step 3: File Form CSR-1 – Non-governmental organizations must access the MCA21 V3 portal and file e-Form CSR-1 with details of the organization, trustees/directors, and PAN.
Step 4: Obtain Professional Certification – Non-governmental organizations must obtain a digital professional certification from a practicing CA, CS, or Cost Accountant.
Step 5: Receive CSR Registration Number – Upon approval, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issues a unique CSR Registration Number to ensure compliance with NGO CSR requirements in India.

What are the Essential Registrations for CSR Funding to NGOs?

The essential registrations for CSR funding to NGOs are mentioned below-

80G Registration

Section 80G registration enables donors to claim tax deductions for contributions to NGOs under the Income-tax Act, 1961. However, it is often preferred by many corporates before allocating CSR funds.

12A Registration

Section 12A registration grants income tax exemption to NGOs, confirming their non-profit status, which is a fundamental requirement for organisations seeking CSR funding in India.

NGO Darpan (NITI Aayog) Registration

Registration on the NGO Darpan portal of NITI Aayog provides NGOs with a unique ID, which is required by government bodies and corporate CSR departments.

FCRA Registration (If Applicable)

Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) registration is mandatory only if NGOs intend to receive foreign contributions; without it, such donations cannot be legally accepted.
