How to Respond to UVAM Objections or Queries
Receiving an objection or query under UVAM (Unified Vendor Approval Module) does not mean rejection. From a regulatory standpoint, it means the system or reviewer has identified a data mismatch or insufficient compliance evidence that must be clarified by the vendor.
What matters is how you respond. Casual or incomplete replies often convert a query into a rejection.
Step 1: Read the Objection Remarks Carefully (Do Not Guess)
Log in to your seller account on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) and open the UVAM → Action Required / Query section.
Key rule:
Respond only to what is specifically mentioned
Do not upload unrelated or excess documents
Government reviewers expect targeted clarification, not document dumping.
Step 2: Identify the Nature of the Objection
Most UVAM queries fall into these categories:
Name mismatch (PAN / bank / GST)
Aadhaar authentication issue
Bank account ownership mismatch
Missing or weak authorization proof
GST–PAN linkage issue
Blurred or incomplete document upload
Understanding the category determines the correct corrective action.
Step 3: Correct the Root Cause First (Offline, If Needed)
Do not reply unless the underlying issue is actually fixed.
Examples:
If bank name mismatches PAN → get corrected bank proof
If GST name differs → file GST amendment first
If Aadhaar name mismatch → update Aadhaar or PAN
Uploading explanations without correcting the base record leads to repeat objections.
Step 4: Upload Correct, Clear & Final Documents
When responding:
Upload fresh, legible documents
Ensure full visibility (no cropping)
Use official PDFs or clear scans
Avoid edited or masked files
For authorization:
Upload properly worded board/partner resolution
Mention GeM/UVAM authority clearly
This step is critical for manual approval cases.
Step 5: Write a Precise Clarification (If Text Box Is Available)
If the portal allows remarks, keep it short, factual, and compliance focused.
Example (Good Practice):
“The bank account has been updated to match the PAN legal name. Revised cancelled cheque and bank confirmation are attached for verification.”
Avoid:
Emotional language
Blame on system or portal
Long explanations
Compliance officers look for resolution, not justification.
Step 6: Submit Once — Do Not Repeatedly Edit
After submission:
Do not make further edits unless asked
Repeated changes reset verification
Monitor registered email and dashboard
Most corrected submissions are cleared within 2–7 working days if compliant.
