IHS is an NGO-Darpan Entity
NGO Darpan Portal, maintained by the NITI Aayod, is a platform, wherein Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs), can register themselves to obtain a Unique Identity Number. This number is mandatory for all NPOs who are seeking grants from the Ministries/Departments of Government of India. As per the prevention of Money Laundering (Maintenance of Records) Amendment Rules, 2023, all financial institutes have been mandated to ensure NGO Darpan Unique ID for NPOs for opening and operating accounts in any Bank. Similarly, Darpan Unique ID is also required for registration/renewal of FCRA, seeking tax exemptions under 80-G of Income Tax.
The Institute of Health Systems is registered as an entity in the NGO-DARPAN Portal.
