class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NGO Darpan is an online portal maintained by NITI Aayog to register NGOs, trusts, societies, and Section 8 companies. Once registered, NGOs receive a Darpan ID, which serves as the organisation&#8217;s digital identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This ID allows donors, government agencies, and stakeholders to verify the NGO\u2019s compliance, legitimacy, and operational status. It also helps streamline applications for grants, tax exemptions, and foreign funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Should_Register\"><\/span>Who Should Register?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NGO Darpan registration is necessary for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Trusts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Societies registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 or similar state laws<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Section 8 Companies under the Companies Act, 2013<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any other registered non-profit organisation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Your_NGO_Needs_Darpan_Registration\"><\/span>Why Your NGO Needs Darpan Registration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"access-to-government-grants\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Access_To_Government_Grants\"><\/span>Access To Government Grants<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Darpan registration is required to apply for funding from central and state government ministries.
