Overview
What is NGO Darpan Registration?
NGO Darpan is the official portal of NITI Aayog (Government of India) for registration and management of Non-Governmental Organisations, voluntary organisations, and non-profit entities. It is maintained by the National Informatics Centre (NIC).
Registration on NGO Darpan is mandatory for any NGO wishing to receive grants from central ministries and departments, participate in government CSR schemes, and access government-sponsored capacity-building programmes.
NGO Darpan registration gives your organisation a unique registration ID (Darpan ID) that is recognised by all central government bodies for fund disbursement and compliance tracking. PrimeWealth Advisory handles the complete registration process.
