class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GeM seller registration process can broadly be completed through the following steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 1: Visit the GeM Portal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The seller should access the official Government e-Marketplace portal and initiate the seller registration process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GeM&#8217;s official registration material provides a seller registration route through its registration page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 2: Create User ID and Password<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The applicant needs to provide the required Aadhaar\/PAN details, mobile number and email ID to begin the registration process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The authorised person should ensure that the information provided is accurate and matches the relevant government records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 3: Select Organisation Type<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The seller selects the appropriate constitution, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Proprietorship<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Firm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Company<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trust\/Society\/Association<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Government Entity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The available options depend upon the registration flow and applicable organisation category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 4: Complete Business Verification<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GeM verifies relevant information through government databases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For companies, CIN and company information may be verified through MCA21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 5: Complete Seller Profile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After creating the account, the seller needs to complete its profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The profile may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Office address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contact details<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bank account details<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Experience<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tax information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other applicable details<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 6: Select Seller Type<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Select whether the business intends to register as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Product Seller<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Service Provider<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Both<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 7: Add Catalogue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After registration, the seller can add the products or services it wants to offer through the applicable catalogue options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GeM&#8217;s official registration guide describes the process as creating the account, updating the seller profile and then adding products\/services through the Catalogue section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 8: Participate in Procurement<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once eligible products\/services have been listed, sellers may participate in applicable government procurement opportunities, including bids and other procurement mechanisms available on GeM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GeM&#8217;s current seller training programme includes separate modules covering registration and account management, catalogue management, Bid and RA participation and order fulfilment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Add_Products_and_Services_on_GeM\"><\/span>How to Add Products and Services on GeM<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Registration alone does not mean that a business&#8217;s products or services are automatically available for government procurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After registration, the seller should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Select the relevant product\/service category.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter the required product or service specifications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide pricing and other applicable details.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upload or provide information required by the relevant catalogue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure that the product\/service description is accurate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete the applicable catalogue process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is the duty of the sellers to provide accurate information about their products\/services. Under GeM&#8217;s General Terms and Conditions, the duty of providing the correct information about the products\/services is the duty of the seller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GeM_Registration_Fees\"><\/span>GeM Registration Fees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One important point for new sellers is that GeM seller registration itself is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GeM&#8217;s official seller-registration material specifically states that there is zero registration fee for registering as a seller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, sellers should distinguish between:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>GeM registration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Catalogue\/product listing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Participation in bids<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other applicable transaction or platform-related charges, if any<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Professional consultancy charges, where a consultant is engaged<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, a third-party consultant may charge professional fees for assisting with registration and compliance, but such fees should not be represented as mandatory GeM registration fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQs\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Is GeM registration mandatory for every business?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. GeM registration is generally relevant for businesses that want to sell eligible products or services to government buyers through the GeM platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Is GeM Seller Registration free?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. GeM&#8217;s official seller registration material states that seller registration is provided without a registration fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Can an LLP register on GeM?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. LLPs fall under the firm category in the GeM seller registration process, subject to the applicable requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Can a Private Limited Company register on GeM?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Private Limited Companies can register as sellers, subject to verification and applicable requirements. Company information such as CIN may be verified through MCA21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Can a proprietor register on GeM?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Proprietorship businesses can register, subject to the applicable registration requirements. GeM requires the proprietor&#8217;s relevant PAN and identity details for verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. Can I sell services on GeM?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. GeM provides registration options for Service Providers, in addition to product sellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7. Can I sell both products and services on GeM?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, where permitted, a seller can register for both products and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8. Is GST registration required for GeM?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GST requirements depend on the nature of the business, goods\/services and applicable tax provisions. Sellers should determine their GST obligations separately rather than assuming that GeM registration itself creates a universal GST registration requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>9. Is ITR required for GeM registration?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ITR information may be required depending on the seller and intended activities. GeM states that verified ITR details are mandatory for participating in Bid\/RA for applicable entities, subject to specified exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>10. Can a new company register on GeM?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. A newly incorporated company can register subject to the applicable verification and registration requirements.
