The NGO Darpan portal would aid the NGOs and the government in building a stronger relationship. It has developed into an e-governance tool to assist in developing a healthy interaction between the government and the NGOs. An NGO can obtain the latest information regarding new programmers and projects through the NGO Darpan portal. It also provides the NGOs with information regarding the previous projects undertaken by the government.

At Tax Esquire CA Firm, we assist our clients with the entire NGO Darpan registration process to enable their registration correctly, for filing correctly, and for approval correctly. This not only increases the credibility of the organization but also improves the scope for receiving government funding opportunities.

Advantages of NGO Darpan Registration

1. Government Recognition 

When an NGO registers with NGO Darpan, the Indian government officially recognizes it. Suddenly, the government can spot and track what these NGOs are up to much more easily.

2. Access to Grants 

A lot of government departments offer grants and funding, but here is the catch: NGOs need NGO Darpan registration to even apply. Without it, they are out of the running.

3. Tax Benefits 

Registered NGOs get tax perks under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act. Donors can claim deductions on what they give, which makes it more appealing to contribute.

4. Better Credibility 

With registration, an NGO looks more legitimate both to donors and to government agencies. People trust it more, so finding support and funding gets a little easier.

5. Transparency and Accountability 

NGO Darpan asks NGOs to keep proper records and send regular reports to the government. This keeps everyone honest and helps make sure they are running things transparently.

6. Increased Visibility 

Registered NGOs show up on the national NGO Darpan portal. That means more people see them whether it is donors, government agencies, or others looking to support their work.
