GeM portal: the complete guide for Chhattisgarh MSMEs
The Government e-Marketplace (GeM) is the single largest channel for selling to government buyers in India. For Chhattisgarh MSMEs, a well-managed GeM presence can be a steady source of orders — if you set it up correctly.
Register and verify as a seller
Seller registration requires your UDYAM number, PAN, GST, and a bank account in the business name. MSMEs and startups receive specific benefits on GeM, including exemptions on earnest money and relaxed turnover criteria — make sure these are reflected in your profile.
Build a catalogue that actually sells
A complete, accurately categorised catalogue with clear specifications and competitive pricing is what gets you into bids and direct purchases. Vague listings get skipped by buyers.
Keep pricing current and respond quickly to bids and reverse auctions. GeM rewards active, responsive sellers with more visibility and repeat orders.
