Darpan Registration  

NGO Darpan Registration is a vital compliance requirement for Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Voluntary Organisations (VOs) in India. Managed by the Government of India through the NITI Aayog NGO Darpan Portal, this registration provides official recognition, improves credibility, and enables access to government grants, schemes, and tax-related benefits.

By completing NGO Darpan Portal registration and obtaining a Darpan Registration Certificate, NGOs can streamline their interaction with government ministries, apply for funding, and stay updated on welfare initiatives and development programs.

What is NGO Darpan Registration?

NGO Darpan Registration is the process of enrolling an NGO or VO on the NGO Darpan portal of NITI Aayog, developed in collaboration with the National Informatics Centre (NIC), MeitY. Launched in 2015, the portal acts as a centralised national database of NGOs, trusts, societies, and Section 8 companies operating in India.

During registration, organisations submit self-declared information regarding their activities, funding sources, governance structure, and areas of operation. This data helps the government assess NGO involvement across social, economic, and developmental sectors.
