NGO Darpan Registration for Trust, Society and Section 8 NGOs
NGO Darpan registration creates a government-facing profile and Darpan Unique ID for an eligible registered NGO. CompanyJi Private Limited helps review the NGO PAN, registration certificate, office-bearer details, Aadhaar information, activity profile, bank details and portal entries before submission.
What NGO Darpan Registration Provides
A registered Trust, Society, Section 8 Company or eligible voluntary organisation can create its profile on the NITI Aayog NGO Darpan portal. After successful verification, the organisation receives a Darpan Unique ID used for government-facing identification.
- One NGO profile linked with legal and key-functionary records.
- Unique identification for eligible grant and scheme applications.
- Better consistency across registration, PAN and activity details.
Prepare a Consistent NGO Profile
The legal name, PAN, registration details, address, office bearers and activity profile should agree across the supporting records before portal submission.
- Darpan registration does not itself guarantee a government grant.
- 12A, 80G, CSR-1 and FCRA remain separate registrations.
