NGO Darpan Portal is a platform, wherein Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs), can register themselves to obtain a Unique Identity Number. This number is mandatory for all NPOs who are seeking grants from the Ministries/Departments of Government of India. As per the prevention of Money Laundering (Maintenance of Records) Amendment Rules, 2023, all financial institutes have been mandated to ensure NGO Darpan Unique ID for NPOs for opening and operating accounts in any Bank. Similarly, Darpan Unique ID is also required for registration/renewal of FCRA, seeking tax exemptions under 80-G of Income Tax.
NGO Darpan facilitates the generation of Unique ID to NGOs/VOs based on self-declared information provided by them. This does not imply that organizations are endorsed or recommended by the NITI Aayog / MeitY-NIC or by the concerned Ministries/Departments /Government Bodies. NITI Aayog/ MeitY-NIC, therefore, shall not be liable whatsoever for any damages incurred as a result of its use.
