Darpan Registration — The Gateway to Government Funding.
NGO Darpan registration with NITI Aayog is a prerequisite for accessing most government grants and schemes — and for FCRA registration itself. We handle the portal filing.
Contact UsNGO Darpan is NITI Aayog's online portal that maintains a database of NGOs — trusts, societies, and Section 8 companies — operating in India, issuing each registered organisation a unique NGO Darpan ID. This registration is a prerequisite for accessing most central government grants and schemes, since many ministries require a valid Darpan ID before an NGO can even apply for funding, and it's also a mandatory pre-requisite for FCRA registration.
Registration requires details of the organisation's governing body, registration certificate, PAN, key activities, and areas of operation, and unlike some registrations, Darpan doesn't have a fixed regulatory validity period, but organisations are expected to keep their profile updated with current activities and governance details.
We handle the Darpan registration filing — compiling organisational and governance details, uploading the required documents, and obtaining the unique ID — and advise on keeping the profile current so it doesn't create friction when it's later relied on for a grant application or FCRA registration.
