Official NITI Aayog NGO Darpan portal enrollment and Unique Identity (Darpan ID) procurement for Trusts, Societies, and Section 8 non-profits to unlock Government grants, CSR funds, and FCRA eligibility.
NGO DARPAN is a premier web portal maintained by NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India) in collaboration with the National Informatics Centre (NIC). It serves as an electronic interface between Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Voluntary Organizations (VOs), and key Government Ministries, Departments, and Public Sector Undertakings.
Obtaining an NGO DARPAN Unique ID is a mandatory prerequisite for any non-profit entity—whether registered as a Public Charitable Trust, Registered Society, or Section 8 Non-Profit Company—seeking to apply for Government Grants, Ministry welfare schemes, Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) registration, and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funding under the Companies Act, 2013.
Select the ideal compliance and filing tier for your business requirements.
Understand the distinct statutory roles of each non-profit accreditation to maximize funding and grant eligibility.
