How to Create a Seller Account on the GeM Portal: Step-by-Step Guide
The Government e-Marketplace (GeM) is India’s official procurement platform that enables government departments, PSUs, and ministries to purchase goods and services online in a transparent, paperless manner.
For sellers, manufacturers, and service providers, creating a GeM seller account is the first and most crucial step toward tapping into India’s vast government buying network.
Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to help you set up your account successfully.
1. Visit the Official GeM Portal
Go to gem.gov.in and click on “Sign Up” → “Seller”. You’ll be redirected to the registration page where the process begins. Make sure you use an official business email ID and active mobile number linked to your Aadhaar or organization.
2. Gather the Required Documents
Before starting, keep the following documents ready:
- Aadhaar and PAN Card of the business owner or authorized signatory
- Udyam/MSME Registration Certificate
- GST Registration Number
- Bank Account details (for payment linkage)
- Active email ID and mobile number
Having all these details handy ensures a smooth and quick registration process.
3. Complete the Registration Form
Fill in your organization’s legal name, business type, and address. Verify your Aadhaar and mobile number via OTP. Once verified, your provisional account will be created.
Next, set up your business profile by adding product categories, service areas, and contact information. Ensure that all entries match your legal documents.
4. Verify and Activate Your GeM Seller Account
After completing the registration, GeM will send a confirmation link to your registered email. Click to verify your account and log in using your credentials.
Once logged in, complete bank verification (PFMS verification is a mandate) to fully activate your seller profile.
