How MSMEs can register on govt’s GeM portal via Udyam registration; check step-by-step process
GeM Registration: Businesses looking to register themselves on the government’s MSME registration portal Udyam in order to sell goods and services directly to the government digitally via the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) portal are not required to register on the latter separately. Registering on the Udyam portal, which is a one-time exercise and doesn’t require renewal, enables MSMEs to allow the portal to register them on the GeM portal also. Here’s the online process:
Visit udyamregistration.gov.in and click on ‘For new entrepreneurs who are not registered yet as MSME or those with EM-II’. In case, you want to switch from UAM, click on ‘For those already having registration as UAM’.
Enter your Aadhaar number and name as per Aadhaar and click on validate and generate OTP. This is for Aadhaar verification with OTP.
To register a proprietorship firm, the proprietor’s Aadhaar is required. For a partnership firm, the managing partner’s Aadhaar is needed and in the case of a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), the karta’s Aadhaar is required.
If it is a limited liability partnership or a cooperative society or a society or a trust, the organisation’s authorised signatory should provide his GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number), PAN and Aadhaar.
Enter the OTP and click on validate. After validation, select your ‘type of organisation’ from the dropdown menu in the same page such as proprietary, partnership, LLP, or private limited company etc., and enter your PAN for verification.
Once the PAN is verified, click on Continue. This will take you to another window with overall 27 pointers seeking different information.
Point number 22 in the form would ask you ‘Are you interested in getting registered on the Government e-Market (GeM) Portal’?; Click ‘Yes’
You can also opt for simultaneous registration on other government portals for MSMEs such as TReDS, National Career Service, and NSIC B2B
Click on ‘Submit and Get Final OTP’ after filling the entire form
After successful registration, a ‘Thank You’ message on your mobile number and email ID will be sent along with your Udyam registration number.
The certificate will be shared with you over email and will have a QR Code through which details about your enterprise can be accessed.
The government had launched the GeM portal back in August 2016 to streamline and make the public procurement process transparent. The portal recently crossed the Rs 2 lakh crore order value mark comprising 33.12 lakh orders vis-a-vis Rs 2 lakh crore order value achieved in the entire previous financial year involving 50.36 lakh orders.
