From FCRA 2020 amendments to Section 135 CSR requirements, Sanstha ERP is built by FastLegal Technologies — a legal-tech company that understands what Indian NGOs are actually accountable for.
Section 8 companies (formerly Section 25) are regulated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and must maintain statutory accounts. Sanstha ERP produces income-expenditure statements aligned with Section 8 audit requirements.
The Foreign Contribution Regulation (Amendment) Act 2020 requires all foreign contributions to be received exclusively at SBI's New Delhi main branch and restricts sub-granting. Sanstha ERP maintains separate FCRA records for FC-4 annual returns due by 31st December each year.
NGOs claiming income exemption must register under Section 12AB. 80G certification allows donors to claim 50% deduction. Form 10BD must be filed by 31st May annually listing all eligible donations. Sanstha ERP automates receipt generation and Form 10BD compilation.
Companies with net worth ≥ ₹500 Cr or turnover ≥ ₹1,000 Cr must spend 2% of average net profit on CSR. NGOs receiving CSR funds must issue utilisation certificates. Sanstha ERP tracks CSR receipts separately and generates utilisation reports.
