Timing and a practical next step
We confirm the applicable deadline and expected work plan after reviewing your records. Authority processing, missing documents and the relevant reporting period can affect timing.
Have pending work? Start with a review of what is already filed. A clear list of the remaining tasks is more useful than assuming every service applies to you.
Tax service names follow the ACS catalogue. The applicable law, form number and registration validity are confirmed for your reporting period, including the transition to the Income-tax Act, 2025 and Rules, 2026. Legal representation, audit opinions and certificates are provided only by the appropriately authorised professional or issuer.
Common 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.
Who is generally eligible for CSR-1?
Eligibility depends on the entity type, applicable registrations and the requirements under the CSR framework. A document review is recommended.
Does CSR-1 guarantee CSR funding?
No. CSR-1 enables eligible implementing agencies to participate, but funding depends on corporate selection, project quality, due diligence and other factors.
What does the fee cover?
The listed amount is the ACS professional fee for the named service. Government fees, taxes, audit or certification-body charges and other third-party costs are confirmed separately in your quote. Multiple listed services are separate choices, not an automatic bundle.
How do I start?
Choose a listed service or request a consultation. ACS reviews your documents, confirms the scope and gives you a request reference. You can follow agreed work through the service panel. Online payments remain inactive for now.
What if I have pending work?
Share the existing records first. The team can identify missing filings, prioritise the next steps and confirm any applicable additional fees with you. No penalty waiver or authority approval is promised.
