Comprehensive Guide to GeM Registration: Empowering Indian Businesses in the Digital Era
In the evolving landscape of Indian commerce, the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) has emerged as a revolutionary platform, redefining how government departments procure goods and services. For small shopkeepers, traders, and large-scale entrepreneurs alike, GeM is not just a portal—it is a gateway to a massive, transparent, and highly profitable market.
At GST Jan Suvidha Kendra (Purna Chandra Achary – WB 093), our mission is to simplify this digital transition for you. Just as we have removed the “overburden” of GST compliance, we are here to bridge the gap between your business and government procurement.
What is GeM Registration?
GeM (Government e-Marketplace) is the National Public Procurement Portal; an end-to-end online marketplace for Central and State Government Ministries, Departments, Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), and autonomous bodies.
Registration on GeM allows you to become an authorized seller to the Government of India. It eliminates the need for middlemen, reduces the “tech-savvy” barrier that many businesspersons face, and ensures that even a small business in a town like Budge Budge can compete for national contracts.
Why Your Business Needs GeM Registration
If your business turnover exceeds ₹40 lakhs, or even if you are a seasonal businessman, GeM offers advantages that traditional markets cannot match:
- Direct Access to Government Buyers: No more running from office to office. Sell directly to various government departments from your computer or mobile.
- Authorised Mudra Loan Support: GeM-registered sellers often find it easier to access credit. As authorized Mudra Loan application providers, our centers help you leverage your GeM profile for financial growth.
- Dynamic Pricing: Unlike fixed tenders, GeM allows for “Reverse Auctions,” where you can adjust your prices to win bids in real-time.
- Prompt Payments: The portal is designed to ensure that payments are processed quickly upon successful delivery, solving the age-old problem of delayed government payments.
- Exemption for MSMEs: If you hold a Udyam/MSME certificate, you enjoy special benefits, including exemptions from Earnest Money Deposits (EMD) in many tenders.
Eligibility Criteria for Sellers
At GST Suvidha Center, we believe in inclusivity. Whether you have deep technical knowledge or none at all, you are eligible if you meet these basic requirements:
- Business Entity: You can be a Sole Proprietorship, Partnership Firm, LLP, Private Limited Company, or even a Startup.
- Education: Minimum 12th pass (for those managing the portal themselves).
- Infrastructure: Access to a computer/mobile, printer, scanner, and internet.
- Aadhaar & PAN: A valid Aadhaar linked to a mobile number and a PAN card (Individual or Business).
Documents Required for GeM Registration (2026 Checklist)
Before visiting our Budge Budge Franchise Office, ensure you have the following digital or physical copies ready:
- Primary Identification: Aadhaar Card and PAN Card of the Authorised Signatory.
- Business Proof: GST Registration Certificate and Udyam/MSME Certificate.
- Financial Proof: Bank Account details and a Cancelled Cheque (for PFMS verification).
- Address Proof: Utility bill, Rent Agreement, or Ownership documents of the office space.
- Past Records: Income Tax Returns (ITR) for the last three years (mandatory for certain seller categories).
The Step-by-Step Registration Process
While the process is digital, it can be daunting. Here is how we at Pcachary.n facilitate your journey:
Step 1: Account Creation
We help you navigate to the official GeM portal to sign up as a Seller. This involves verifying your Aadhaar or PAN via OTP.
Step 2: Profile Completion
A “provisional” account is not enough. We complete your profile by adding:
- Entity Details: Office address, business type, and CIN/LLPIN.
- Tax Assessment: Linking your GSTIN to ensure your tax compliance is visible to buyers.
- Bank Account: Linking your business account for seamless payments.
Step 3: Vendor Assessment (If Applicable)
For Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), a Vendor Assessment by the Quality Council of India (QCI) may be required. Our team of 170+ backend experts guides you through this technical audit.
Step 4: Catalogue Management
This is where our USP shines. We don’t just register you; we help you list your products or services (from over 450+ service categories) with professional descriptions, images, and competitive pricing.
Step 5: Bidding and Participation
Once your profile is 100% verified, you can start participating in:
- Direct Purchase: For orders up to ₹25,000.
- L1 Purchase: For orders between ₹25,000 and ₹5,00,000.
- Bidding/RA: For high-value contracts above ₹5,00,000.

“The registration cost is too high.”
The government does not charge a registration fee for the portal itself. Our service fees at GST Jan Suvidha Kendra are kept “reasonable and nominal” to ensure that small traders are not burdened.
