NGO Darpan Registration in India A Complete Guide (2025)

1. 📌 Introduction

Darpan Registration, managed by NITI Aayog, is a centralized online portal for NGOs/VOs in India to register themselves and avail benefits like government grants, scheme eligibility, and official recognition.

Launched by the Government of India, this portal helps bring transparency, accountability, and streamlined communication between NGOs and various ministries/departments.

2. 🗂️ Types of Licenses Offered

While Darpan itself is a registration platform, NGOs must already have one of the following entity types:

• Society registered under Societies Registration Act, 1860
• Trust registered under Indian Trusts Act, 1882
• Section 8 Company registered under Companies Act, 2013

Darpan Registration is not a substitute for NGO formation—it’s an additional registration for government recognition and funding.
