Understanding the service
We prepare an agreed project proposal for a budget up to INR 1 crore, based on the problem, implementation plan, budget and measurable outputs.
Describe the problem and the proposed response
Define who needs support, what evidence establishes the need and what the project will change. Explain the activity sequence, team and location. A proposal is stronger when it answers a defined problem than when it lists every activity the organisation might someday undertake.
Check budget assumptions before submission
Record units, rates, durations and the basis of each estimate. Consider permissions, procurement, monitoring and project closure as well as launch costs. The listed ACS scope relates to the stated project-budget band; larger or unusually complex proposals need a separate review and quote.
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.
- Organisation profile and registration records
- Verified project objectives and activities
- Budget and supporting financial information
- Approved content, images and reporting records
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.
A structured document for review and discussion, without a funding guarantee. 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 proposal support include project implementation?
Not unless explicitly agreed. Writing, presentation, delivery and monitoring are different scopes.
How can a funder check the budget?
Provide clear assumptions and supporting quotations where appropriate, and connect costs to the activity schedule.
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.
