GeM Registration for IT Hardware & Software Vendors

Selling laptops, desktops, networking equipment, and licensed software to government buyers? GeM registration for the IT hardware and software category follows the same core onboarding process every seller goes through, with a few category-specific details worth getting right from the start.

Getting Onboarded

GeM registration is open to proprietorships, partnerships, private limited companies and LLPs. You'll need PAN and address proof of the entity, a GST registration certificate, Udyam (MSME) registration for EMD exemption, bank account details, and a Digital Signature Certificate for your authorised signatory. If you're reselling rather than manufacturing IT hardware and software products, you'll also need an OEM authorization letter from the brand.

What Makes This Category Different

IT hardware listings typically require detailed technical specification sheets (processor, RAM, storage, warranty terms), while software listings need clear licensing terms and, where applicable, compliance with government data-handling and security requirements.

Documents to Prepare

• PAN and address proof of the entity
• GST registration certificate
• Udyam (MSME) registration, for EMD exemption
• Bank account details and a cancelled cheque
• Authorization letter from the brand/OEM, if reselling
• Digital Signature Certificate of the authorised signatory
