The draft guidelines call for issuing unique IDs to NGOs and evaluating them based on their internal governance and ethical standards. NGOs will be required to give details of audited account, IT returns, area of operation and names of key individuals involved in the operations of the organisation. Before accreditation, past track record and performance of NGOs will also be scrutinised.

The draft guidelines propose a three-tier scrutiny process to evaluate how an NGO utilises funds granted to it by the government. This, as Mahapatra states on the micro-blogging site Twitter, will also include quality evaluation of work done by NGOs apart from financial and physical evaluation.
