You need to file a CSR-1 form to get CSR funds from companies. Apart from that, you also need to prepare a project report that includes detailed information about the CSR activity and its impact on society. A good project report attracts good funds.
A CSR form can be filed in about two days. However, if you do not have the project report ready, it may take up to 10-15 days to write an appealing project report that boosts your chances of receiving more and more CSR funds.
To receive contributions from companies, an NGO must be registered on the MCA's CSR platform. Only NGOs who have registered with the Central Government by submitting form CSR-1 will be eligible for CSR funding.
Yes, an NGO seeking CSR must be registered under sections 12A and 80G of the Income Tax Act of 1961.
