NITI Aayog Compliance Support

• New Darpan Registration: Complete profile creation for NGOs registering for the first time — obtaining Darpan ID within 1 working day of profile submission
• Annual Profile Update: Financial data, activity report, governing body changes, new certificates — updated annually to maintain "active" status
• Profile Reactivation: Reactivating profiles deactivated by NITI Aayog due to non-update or data errors
• Deficiency Notice Response: Addressing NITI Aayog queries about profile completeness or data accuracy
• Certificate Upload: Adding new 12A, 80G, FCRA, CSR-1 certificates to the Darpan profile as they are obtained
• Project Portfolio Management: Adding, updating, and completing project records on the Darpan portal
• Governing Body Changes: Reflecting trustee/director additions and removals on the Darpan portal

• Profile not updated for more than 12 months (most common reason)
• Email ID or mobile number linked to profile no longer active — OTP-based login fails
• Financial data not updated after the close of the financial year
• PAN verification failure — PAN linked to profile does not match Income Tax records
• Duplicate profile detection — two profiles for the same PAN
• Governing body member data mismatch with RoS / MCA records

MFiling diagnoses the specific reason for deactivation and follows the NITI Aayog prescribed reactivation procedure — which may require contacting the NITI Aayog helpdesk, submitting rectified data, or providing documentary evidence of continuity.

• MHA verifies Darpan profile status during FCRA registration (FC-3A) processing
• FCRA renewal (FC-3C) requires an active and updated Darpan profile
• Darpan ID must match the FCRA application data exactly — any mismatch causes rejection
• NITI Aayog and MHA data are cross-verified — discrepancies in governing body details between Darpan and FCRA records trigger scrutiny

Q: Is there a government fee for Darpan registration or updates?
No. The NGO Darpan portal is completely free of charge. Government fees apply only for registration with RoS, MCA, Sub-Registrar, and Income Tax filings — not for the Darpan profile.

Q: Can an NGO have multiple Darpan IDs?
No. NITI Aayog allows only one Darpan ID per PAN. If duplicate profiles exist, NITI Aayog deactivates all but the verified primary profile. MFiling identifies and resolves duplicate profile issues before they cause complications.

Q: How quickly can a Darpan profile be reactivated after deactivation?
In most cases, reactivation requires updating the profile data and submitting it for NITI Aayog verification. Verification typically takes 5–10 working days. In cases requiring helpdesk intervention (e.g., lost OTP access), the process may take 15–21 days. MFiling handles all correspondence with NITI Aayog on behalf of the client.
