About the Portal

What is GeM, and who in Kolkata needs to register?

The Government e-Marketplace (GeM) is the Government of India's official online procurement platform, where central and state departments, PSUs, and autonomous bodies buy goods and services. Any manufacturer (OEM), authorised reseller, or service provider based in Kolkata must register as a seller on GeM before listing products or bidding on government tenders and direct-purchase orders. GeM is a single national portal — a business in Kolkata registers exactly the same way as anywhere else in India, with no separate West Bengal state office to apply through. LeegAl handles registration for proprietorships, partnerships, LLPs, private & public limited companies, trusts, and societies in Kolkata — for first-time sellers as well as manufacturers going through OEM Vendor Assessment.

How It Works

Our 6-step registration process

1
Sign up on the GeM portal
Seller account creation with Aadhaar e-KYC or Personal PAN, verified by OTP on your linked mobile and email.
2
Build your seller profile
Constitution type, PAN, GSTIN, address, bank details and 3 years of ITR (or turnover declaration) go on record.
3
Pay caution money (if applicable)
One-time refundable deposit based on turnover. Artisans, weavers, and MSE SC/ST or women-owned enterprises are exempt.
4
OEM Vendor Assessment — manufacturers only
RITES conducts a desktop review plus a remote video assessment of manufacturing/quality claims. Official turnaround: within 15 working days of fee payment.
5
List your products or services
Specifications, images, pricing and brand details are added against GeM's category catalogue.
6
Go live — start bidding
Category approval (typically 96 hours) completes and your profile turns active — you're ready to bid and receive orders.

Why LeegAl

What you get that a filing portal doesn't

Advocate-Led Review
Every filing is reviewed by a practicing advocate of the Jharkhand High Court, not a data-entry team.
Document Reconciliation
We match Aadhaar, PAN, GST and bank records before submission — the #1 cause of rejection, eliminated upfront.
OEM Assessment Support
Direct guidance through the RITES Vendor Assessment process for manufacturers, including dispute handling.
Beyond Registration
A free 30-day check-in to help you read your first bids — registration is the start, not the whole job.
