The short answer
NGO Darpan is a NITI Aayog portal where voluntary organisations register to obtain a unique ID, which is required to apply for grants under many government schemes and is often requested in FCRA and other processes. Registration needs the NGO's PAN, registration certificate, and PAN and Aadhaar details of at least three governing members.
