Starting an NGO is a noble decision. But to work officially in India, proper registration is essential. One such important registration is Darpan NGO registration. It connects NGOs with various government departments and opens opportunities for grants and partnerships. I am here to guide you through the process with legal clarity.
As a part of NGO Experts, a trusted and legal consultancy firm, I assist NGOs in completing all formalities, including 12A registration and Income Tax Filing.
Let’s understand how to register on the Darpan Portal, why it matters, and what role NGO Experts plays in helping NGOs grow legally.
Darpan ngo registration is a portal developed by NITI Aayog. It registers NGOs and gives them a unique ID. This ID helps NGOs apply for government schemes. It also builds trust with donors.
The registration is online and free. But it needs certain documents and steps. I help NGOs collect and prepare all documents for a smooth process.
Without Darpan registration, an NGO cannot apply for grants from government ministries.
To start the registration, NGOs need:
PAN of the organization
Registration certificate (Trust, Society, or Section 8)
Name and PAN of at least three governing members
Email ID and mobile number
Details about activities
These are basic, but small mistakes can delay the process. At NGO Experts, we make sure every document is accurate.
The process is not too long, but it needs care.
Visit the official Darpan portal.
Create a login ID.
Fill in basic details about your NGO.
Upload documents.
Submit and wait for verification.
We at NGO Experts guide our clients through each step. If the application faces any error, we correct it and re-submit.
Once Darpan NGO registration is complete, the next legal step is 12A registration. It allows NGOs to get tax exemption on their income. Without 12A, donations received by NGOs are taxable.
I always suggest completing both registrations together. This saves time and helps the NGO gain tax benefits right from the start.
12A registration is issued by the Income Tax Department. It is a one-time process and needs to be done within a short time after Darpan registration.
Once your NGO is registered and receives 12A, you must do proper Income Tax Filing every year. It shows your transparency. It builds trust among donors and government bodies.
At NGO Experts, we handle tax filing for many NGOs. We maintain records, prepare accounts, and ensure compliance. This avoids legal notices or penalties.
Filing taxes is not just a rule; it shows you are serious about your mission.
We at NGO Experts provide complete legal services for NGOs. We are a registered and reliable consultancy. Here’s how we help:

Many NGOs face rejection on the Darpan portal due to:

Incomplete information
Unverified email or mobile number
We resolve all these problems. I personally check every file before submission. My aim is to make sure your NGO starts right.
Once your NGO is registered with Darpan and holds a 12A certificate, you can:
Apply for central and state government grants
