GEM portal registration refers to the process of enrolling as a seller on the GEM (Government e-Marketplace) portal. GEM is an online platform approved by the government for public procurement, where manufacturers and service providers can list their products and services. By registering on the GEM portal as a seller, businesses can showcase their offerings to government entities and gain access to government buyers. This registration allows sellers to participate in government tenders and contracts, simplifies the procurement process, and provides various benefits such as increased visibility, payment security, and business opportunities.
GEM portal registration is not formed under a specific act. The GEM (Government e-Marketplace) portal was created by the Government of India as an online platform for public procurement. It aims to streamline the procurement process and provide a transparent and efficient marketplace for government buyers and sellers. While there may be regulations and policies governing the functioning of GEM, it is not formed under a specific act. It is a government initiative to promote digital procurement and facilitate business transactions between government entities and sellers.
The good news is that there are minimal eligibility barriers for registering as a seller on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) portal in India. Most bonafide suppliers in the country can apply for GEM registration.
Here’s a breakdown of what this means for potential sellers:
Therefore, as long as you’re a genuine supplier operating within India’s legal framework, you should be eligible to register as a seller on the GeM portal.
By registering, you open up the possibility of participating in government tenders and expanding your customer base to include government agencies. This can be a significant advantage for many businesses.
5. Transparent and Fair System: GEM promotes transparency and fairness in the procurement process. It provides equal opportunities for all registered sellers, fostering a level playing field and reducing favoritism.
Registering as a seller on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) portal involves several steps. Here’s a breakdown of the general process:
1. Access the GeM Portal:
– Visit the official GeM portal website: https://gem.gov.in/
2. Initiate Seller Registration:
– Locate the “Sign Up” or “Seller Registration” option on the homepage.
– Click on it to begin the registration process.
3. Company/Organization Details:
– The system will guide you through entering your organization’s details. This typically involves selecting your organization type (proprietorship, partnership, etc.) and providing the company name.
– Be mindful that you may not be able to edit the company name later, so enter it accurately
4. User Credentials and Verification:
– Create a user ID and password for your seller account on the GeM portal. Choose a strong password and keep it confidential.
– The portal will likely ask you to enter your Aadhaar number or PAN number, followed by a mobile number linked to it.
– An OTP (One Time Password) will be sent for verification purposes to your mobile number or email address (depending on the option chosen). Enter the OTP to confirm your details.
5. PAN Verification:
– The GeM portal might have a separate section for PAN verification. This step might involve uploading a scanned copy of your PAN card.
6. Uploading Documents:
Prepare scanned copies of the documents required for registration. These typically include:
– Aadhaar Card (of the business owner)
– PAN Card (of the business owner)
– Certificate of Incorporation (if applicable)
– GST Certificate (if applicable)
– MSME Certificate (if available)
– Cancelled cheque copy (for bank account details)
The specific documents required may vary, so it’s advisable to check the latest requirements on the GeM portal itself.
7. Payment and Verification:
– After submitting the required details and documents, you might need to make a nominal payment to complete the registration process. The payment options and fees are subject to change, so refer to the official GeM portal for up-to-date information.
– Once the payment is processed, a GeM official might contact you for verification purposes.
8. Account Activation:
Upon successful verification, you’ll receive your Seller ID and login credentials within a specified timeframe (usually within 24 business hours). This allows you to log in to your seller account on the GeM portal and participate in tenders.
