GeM Portal Registration for Sellers involves the process of registering as a seller on the Government e-Marketplace to supply goods and services to government buyers. While the process itself is usually straightforward, businesses commonly run into avoidable issues along the way. Here are the mistakes we see most often, and how to steer clear of them.

Mistake 1

Incomplete or inaccurate product listings reducing buyer confidence.

Mistake 2

Not keeping GST and other compliance documents updated on the profile.

Mistake 3

Missing bid deadlines due to poor tracking of new opportunities.

Mistake 4

Underpricing without accounting for delivery and compliance costs.

How to Avoid These Issues

Most of these mistakes come down to preparation. Having the right documents ready — PAN and business registration documents, GST registration details, Bank account details for payment processing, among others — and understanding the process before you start goes a long way toward a smooth outcome with the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) portal.
