GeM Registration for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Companies

GeM registration for SaaS suppliers: what's the same as any category, and what's specific to selling cloud-based software subscriptions and platform servic

5 min read Sector Guide

Selling cloud-based software subscriptions and platform services to government buyers? GeM registration for the SaaS 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 SaaS products, you'll also need an OEM authorization letter from the brand.

What Makes This Category Different

SaaS listings are structurally different from physical product listings — pricing models (subscription vs one-time), data security compliance, and hosting/data-residency details often need to be clearly addressed for government buyers.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I register for the SaaS category as a reseller, not a manufacturer?

Yes, provided you obtain a properly formatted OEM authorization letter from the brand whose products you're reselling.

Do I need separate registration for each product category I sell in?

No, one seller registration covers your account — but each product listing still needs to be correctly categorized and specified individually.
