What Is NGO Darpan Registration?
NGO Darpan is the official portal jointly maintained by NITI Aayog and the National Informatics Centre (NIC), created to connect voluntary organisations with the Government of India. Once your profile is verified, you receive a unique Darpan ID, which ministries, funding bodies, and CSR committees rely on to confirm your NGO's identity before releasing grants or contributions.
Why an NGO Darpan ID Matters
- Needed to apply for most Central Government grants and welfare schemes
- A necessary step before FCRA registration for receiving foreign contributions
- Frequently verified by companies before entering CSR-1 fund partnerships
- Strengthens your credibility alongside 12A tax exemption registration and 80G donor benefit registration
Who Can Apply
- Registered Public Charitable Trusts
- Societies registered under the Societies Registration Act
- Section 8 Companies incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013
- State-level equivalents of the above legal structures
Latest 2026 Changes on the NGO Darpan Portal
Stricter Aadhaar-Based Authentication
The 2026 update makes Aadhaar-based authentication compulsory for key office bearers before a Darpan profile can be verified, adding an extra identity-check step compared to earlier years.
30-Day Profile Completion Window
New Darpan profiles must now be completed within 30 days of initiation, or the incomplete data is purged and the process must be restarted from scratch — timely document submission is essential.
RNPO Linkage Under the New Income Tax Act
Under the Income Tax Act, 2025, entities holding a valid 12A/12AB registration are now treated as a Registered Non-Profit Organisation (RNPO) under Section 332 — a separate registration from Darpan, but frequently cross-checked together for funding eligibility.
Mandatory for FCRA & CSR-1 Filings
An NGO Darpan ID is now a practical prerequisite before applying for FCRA registration or filing CSR-1 to receive corporate CSR funds, making it one of the first compliance steps for any funded NGO.
Documents Required for NGO Darpan Registration
Organisation Documents

- Aadhaar-linked authentication support for office bearers
