So now now that you mentioned nausea you
know that it is companies earlier it was
complied or explained now it`s comply or
pay penalty right so on these lines what
do you think are the key factors that
companies should keep in mind while
framing their csr strategy
well first let me get into that because
you know i think only legally so now
companies
first make sure that whosoever you are
dealing with is registered as a trust
society or a comp make sure they both
have to have an atg and which is now
also renewed please understand and uh
12-way and atg is now given only for a
period of five years
some ngos are managed to get their
renewal under maybe
some are still not of course there is
still august so it is quite valid there
is even a probability that the new date
may be extended but please i i don`t
speak on behalf of the income tax
because the income tax bottle was
supposed to come out with a seamless new
portal on first of june and for those 50
days after this launch it currently went
haywire and it still has glitches which
has have not mixed so
uh that`s going to be another thing if
there is no further extension after 30th
of august which is at the end of this
month
companies are going to be very very
about giving funds to such institutions
ensure that the ngo has track record of
three years of service and that they are
registered under csr1 look at part past
performance
i`ve also noticed that a lot of
companies
do not give
grants to ngos they had a works contract
with them
and charge them
uh
for tds
at the rate of 10 because they think
they are providing a professional
service and therefore tds must be
deducted and then 194g they also insist
that the ngo should have gst and they
are quite happy and willing to pay gst
because of course they would get a tax
credit anyway for it but this is not the
way to go
csr must be given as a grant the grant
is in the nature of a gift please avoid
works contract i mean videos they exist
for
purpose so
uh that`s an important point i wish to
tell company about
more importantly give money to ngos now
in tranches i mean and the worst thing
that i see companies doing
offloading in the february and march and
then expecting the ngo to say okay i
mean how did you use my one crore of
rupees after offloading it in the month
of february and march at the end of the
financial year i think not a good idea
doing all that
so i i thought then again i know i`m
coming from an ngo perspective over here
i mean
uh
there is a lot of suffering that i see
out there and uh there is a little bit
of a disconnect which uh hopefully
seminars like these webinars like this
will help to bridge
so i`ll stop you on this channel
yes thank you thank you for sharing your
thoughts nausea and i completely agree
with the point that you make that you
know though ngos are receiving funding
it`s usually towards uh your early part
of q4 wherein companies suddenly realize
that they and they have an unspent csr
uh budget so in effect yes you know they
are going to do it you might as well
have better planning surrounding it
