Darpan Registration for NGOs & VOs – Streamline Your Access to Government Schemes with Mequintrax

Darpan Registration is an essential step for Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Voluntary Organisations (VOs) in India seeking to collaborate with various government departments. The NGO Darpan Portal, operated by NITI Aayog, acts as a central gateway for NGOs to gain official recognition, improve credibility, and unlock opportunities for government funding, project partnerships, and information sharing.


By registering on the NGO Darpan platform, organisations receive a unique Darpan ID, which allows them to apply for government schemes, grants, CSR initiatives, and benefits such as FCRA registration and income tax exemptions.

What is Darpan Registration?

Darpan Registration is an online registration process for Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Voluntary Organisations (VOs) in India, facilitated through the NGO Darpan Portal, a platform developed and maintained by NITI Aayog, Government of India.

This registration provides NGOs with a unique Darpan ID, which serves as a digital identity to interact with various government ministries and departments. It is mandatory for NGOs seeking government grants, CSR funding, and participation in public welfare schemes.


Applicability of Darpan Registration


NGO Darpan Registration is applicable to any legally registered Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) or Voluntary Organisation (VO) operating in India. While registration is optional for general operations, it becomes compulsory for organisations intending to:


  • Receive foreign contributions under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA)

  • Apply for government grants, CSR funds, or participate in government-sponsored schemes and initiatives


Once registered, the organisation is issued a Unique Darpan ID, which enables transparent communication and a centralized application process for funding, grants, and compliance.


Entities Eligible for NGO Darpan Registration:

✅ Registered Trusts
✅ Registered Societies
✅ Registered Section 8 Companies
Charitable Associations
✅ Any other legally constituted NGO or VO


Note: Unregistered or informal groups are not eligible for Darpan Registration. The entity must be registered under the relevant Indian laws, such as the Indian Trusts Act, Societies Registration Act, or Companies Act.
