NGO Darpan Registration
Registering your trust, society or Section 8 company on the NGO Darpan portal maintained by NITI Aayog, a prerequisite for accessing government grants, CSR funding and FCRA registration.
NGO Darpan is an online portal maintained by NITI Aayog that assigns a unique identification number to voluntary organisations, including trusts, societies and Section 8 companies, based on their registration details, governing body and activity area. A valid NGO Darpan ID is a mandatory prerequisite for applying for FCRA registration, several central government grant schemes, and is often used by corporates to verify NGOs for CSR funding eligibility.

Why the Darpan profile should stay current, not just filed once
What sets our approach apart.
An outdated profile can hold up an FCRA application
FCRA registration checks the NGO Darpan details, so stale governing body or address information can cause delays.
Grant portals often cross-check Darpan data automatically
Several government scheme portals validate an NGO's eligibility directly against its NGO Darpan record.
Corporates use it as a first-pass CSR filter
An incomplete or unregistered Darpan profile can quietly remove an NGO from consideration before a CSR conversation even begins.
