Fund Utilisation Certificate in Gurugram

Received a grant, CSR funding, or project money and need to prove you spent it as intended? A Fund Utilisation Certificate is the CA-certified document that confirms it. We verify your expenditure against the sanction terms and issue the certificate - in the prescribed GFR 12-A format where required - with a verifiable UDIN, so funders, donors, and authorities release the next tranche and close the project cleanly.

Funders do not just want to know the money was spent - they want assurance it was spent on what they sanctioned, with the unspent balance accounted for. A CA-certified utilisation certificate gives them that, and it is usually the gate to the next tranche or to closing the project. For NGOs it pairs with NGO and non-profit accounting and the annual statutory audit.

Content is reviewed quarterly for accuracy.

Funders hold the next tranche, and project closures stall, until the utilisation certificate is in. If a grant, CSR, or scheme reporting deadline is near, share your sanction letter and expenditure records, and we will verify the spend and issue the certificate in the correct format, with UDIN, so your funding keeps moving.

A fund utilisation certificate is how an organisation proves it used money the way it promised - the gate to the next tranche and to closing a project cleanly. In the right format, with expenditure mapped to the sanction and the unspent balance accounted for, it gives funders confidence.
