RE: Adivasi Sanskar Mandal

Amit,

Since Adivasi Sanskar Mandal is a Registered Society / Trust and also has 80 G exemption for donations , I feel donations given to ASM should be eligible for adjustment against an Indian Donor Company’s CSR obligations

HCP,

I did look at the site you referred me to:
http://www.mca.gov.in/MinistryV2/faq+on+csr+cell.html

I cannot figure out if corporate contributions made to the institution I am working with (Adivasi Sanskar Mandal) qualifies or not. If you can advise me, it would be helpful.

For your reference, I have attached a letter (2 pages) from Bhagubhai Darji of Adivasi Sanskar Mandal. Details provided there-in could potentially help you assess.

Thanks.
Amit
