NGO Darpan is an online portal developed by the NITI Ayog, India’s policy think tank in collaboration with the National Informatics Center (NIC, MeITY). It was introduced by the Indian Government in 2015. The portal serves as a national and centralised database of NGOs and voluntary organisations in India. To create this database, every NGO / VO in India is required to register themselves on the portal and provide self-declared information about their activities, projects, sources of income, and so on.
This information helps the government and other stakeholders to better understand the activities and undertakings of NGOs across sectors and locations. Moreover, it also instils transparency and accountability in the activities carried out by NGOs as the information registered on the portal is publicly accessible. The main objective behind creation of the Darpan Portal is to facilitate NGOs in receiving Government grants and funding easily using their Unique Darpan registration ID.

Niti Aayog NGO Darpan Registration is an online process and can be completed in a series of steps. It begins with an official registration on the NGO Darpan portal, and ends with the generation of a unique Darpan ID. Our team assists you in completing the entire NGO Darpan application process with ease and provides you free consultation to resolve all your doubts and queries. The step wise guide below will help you understand the process better.
The first step is NGO Darpan portal registration. For this, you can visit the portal at https://ngodarpan.gov.in/. You will find the Login/Register button on the home page, usually displayed at the top right corner. Click on this link and begin the process of new user registration.
You can generate the login credentials by completing the new user registration process on the portal. For this you will have to provide basic details like the name of your NGO, contact details including mobile number and e-mail ID for OTP verification, PAN number of NGO, and so on. Once the OTP verification is successfully done, you can create a password to login to your account later.
After you have logged in, the next step is NGO Profile Creation on Darpan. These details include details of the NGO, its registration, details of its members, details of funding sourced from the government, contact information, and scope of its activities. These details must be accurate and updated not only for a successful registration on the portal but also later for successful reception of grants from various government departments and ministries.
To complete the registration process, certain documents must also be submitted along with the relevant details. These include the NGO’s PAN, Registration Certificate, and the documents of at least three executive members of the organisation. After uploading these documents, you can finally “save” the details on the portal. By this time, your profile will appear to be 100% complete as per the standards of the portal.
On 100% profile creation, the details and documents submitted shall be verified and a unique ID will be generated for your NGO on the portal. This ID can be later used to apply for government grants and fund support. It can also be used to obtain other significant registrations like the FCRA Registration and other im portant benefits like 12A and 80G registrations for your NGO.
