"NITI Aayog has made it mandatory for all non-government organisations to register with 'NGO- PS (Partnership System) Portal' for seeking grants from any Department/ Ministry of Government of India. No money is to be released by any Ministry to any non-Government organisation that has not registered itself with NITI Aayog NGO-PS Portal.

"The Union Minister of State(Independent Charge) for Youth Affairs & Sports, Shri Vijay Goel has said that the requirement for registration on the NGO-PS Portal is in the interest of transparency and urged NSFs to get themselves registered," the release said further.
