UNDERSTANDING NGO DARPAN
Give Your Organization a Stronger Official Presence.
NGO DARPAN is an online registration and information portal managed by NITI Aayog, Government of India, for Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Voluntary Organisations (VOs).
The portal maintains organizational information and facilitates access to certain government grants, schemes, and official processes, subject to the applicable requirements.
DARPAN registration is not a substitute for your organization's original legal registration.
WHY NGO DARPAN MATTERS
Key Factors to Know.
Understand where a DARPAN ID may be relevant before beginning your registration.
FCRA & 80G Processes
The ID is relevant to certain FCRA registration or renewal processes and applications for income-tax exemption under Section 80G, where applicable.
Banking Requirements
DARPAN ID requirements may apply to NGO bank-account opening and operation under the applicable rules. Confirm the requirements with your bank.
No Guaranteed Funding
Registration does not automatically approve grants, provide 80G approval, or authorize an organization to receive foreign contributions.
05
DARPAN ID, Not a Physical Certificate
NITI Aayog issues a unique DARPAN ID through the portal. Registration does not mean that a physical DARPAN certificate is issued.
