Understanding the service
CSR-1 records eligible implementing agencies with MCA. Legal structure, charitable registrations and track record must be checked for your particular eligibility route.
Separate eligibility from a funding pitch
An implementing organisation must first check the applicable CSR rules and its entity and approval status. A registration acknowledgement is not a company commitment to fund a project. Keep the legal, financial and governance evidence ready before approaching a corporate donor.
Prepare for the donor conversation
A donor normally needs to understand the problem, delivery area, beneficiaries, budget and measurable outcomes. Connect each proposed expense to an activity and explain who will monitor delivery. Keep your organisational file separate from the project proposal so that updates to one do not accidentally change the other.
Preparation checklist
Use this as a starting file, not a universal eligibility decision. ACS confirms the final checklist against your actual entity, activity and reporting period.
- Applicant or entity identification
- Existing registration records, if applicable
- Address and authorised signatory details
- Service-specific documents confirmed after review
Keep originals and final versions distinguishable. Record missing information before submission and use the agreed private channel for sensitive evidence.
From enquiry to agreed work
- Share the requirement and relevant reporting period.
- ACS reviews the records and confirms the scope and charges.
- Preparation, review and authorised filing or delivery.
- Receive completion records and the next-step checklist.
Documentation readiness for discussions with corporate CSR teams; funding is not assured. Timing depends on the supplied records, applicable process and external review. No authority decision or processing date is guaranteed.
ACS professional fee
Government fees, taxes, provider charges and additional professional work are separate unless the written quote says otherwise. The listed fee is not a grant, tax, contribution or licence payment. Online payments remain inactive.
Frequently asked questions
Does CSR-1 ensure a corporate grant?
No. The company makes its own due-diligence and funding decisions. Registration and a proposal do not assure selection.
Can a newly formed NGO use the same route as every NGO?
Eligibility depends on the category of implementing entity and current rules. An individual review is necessary before submission.
What does the listed professional fee include?
The ACS fee covers only the work confirmed in your quote. Government fees, taxes, provider or certification-body charges and additional professional work are separate unless expressly included. Booking does not activate an online payment.
What should I share for the first discussion?
Start with your requirement and the relevant period or project. The callback form needs only your name and mobile number. Share identity, banking or financial documents only through the agreed private workflow.
