NGO Darpan Registration: Frequently Asked Questions
Is Darpan registration mandatory for all NGOs?
It is mandatory wherever government money is involved: grants, FCRA and many scheme empanelments. Even otherwise, funders increasingly treat it as basic hygiene.
Whose KYC is needed for registration?
The organisation's PAN plus PAN and Aadhaar of key office bearers, typically at least three. Mismatched name spellings between documents are the usual blocker, which we fix first.
Does the Darpan ID expire?
No expiry, but profiles must be kept current, especially office bearer changes, since FCRA and grant systems read this data live.
We changed our board. Does Darpan matter?
