Overview

Introduction

Darpan Registration, commonly known as NGO Darpan Registration, is an online registration granted through the NGO Darpan Portal managed by NITI Aayog, Government of India. It is a mandatory requirement for NGOs and Voluntary Organizations (VOs) seeking to apply for government grants, schemes, CSR funding, or partnerships with Central and State Ministries.
Through this registration, eligible entities such as Trusts, Societies, and Section 8 Companies receive a unique Darpan ID, which serves as official recognition of the organization on government records. Without a valid Darpan ID, NGOs cannot apply for government funding, CSR contributions through public sector undertakings, or register on several other statutory portals.
Darpan Registration does not replace legal registration of the NGO but acts as a centralized database to ensure transparency, accountability, and monitoring of NGO activities across India.

Governing Authority

Darpan Registration is governed and administered by NITI Aayog, Government of India, through the NGO Darpan Portal, in coordination with various Central and State Government departments.
