CSR registration in Andhra Pradesh allows NGOs to obtain CSR funds from corporations for various CSR activities. CSR is an abbreviation for Corporate Social Responsibility, and it refers to the grant and funding process by which non-profit organizations (NGOs) can receive financial and other financial support from the business sector.

The CSR-1 registration process is entirely online and can be completed only with Practicing CA, CS, or CMA certification. Once the CSR registration is completed and approved, Registered NGOs can apply for registration on CSR Exchange Portal after 30 days from the date of approval.

When NGOs register for CSR, they get the opportunity to attract tons of corporate companies who are willing to provide significant financial support to lead CSR activities. The process of obtaining corporate funding and donations from companies is easier due to the lack of legal obstacles.
The funds provided by CSR are used to address social development and have an impact on the standard of living of economically disadvantaged and marginalized members of society, so they can lead healthy and dignified lives. CSR is a corporate effort to evaluate and accept responsibility for the impact of the business on the environment as well as its impact on social well-being.
When corporate companies contribute to a greater cause, it builds the brand’s reputation among the people. It is also a significant statement for businesses to represent what they stand for. It assists its employees, people, and the organization itself in contributing to something larger than its own needs. CSR also provides a sense of belonging to employees. It strengthens employee bonds as well as devotion to the organization.
CSR is linked to the company's efforts to protect the environment and encourages positive environmental and social changes. CSR activities include the promotion of health, education and water, as well as environmental, social empowerment, and employment generation training for young people and women and differently-abled people through livelihood improvement projects.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
