What is the process for resolving disputes or issues on the GeM portal?

To register your construction company on the GeM platform, you’ll need a few key documents to get started. Don’t worry, it’s not too complicated, but make sure you have everything handy before you begin the process. Here’s what you’ll need, explained in a simple way:

1. Company PAN Card

First things first, you’ll need your company’s PAN card. This is like your company’s identity proof for tax purposes. Without this, you won’t be able to proceed with registration.

2. GST Number

Next up, you need your company’s GST (Goods and Services Tax) number. If you’re selling construction materials or providing services, this is crucial for tax filings and transactions on the GeM platform.

3. Udyog Aadhaar (if applicable)

If your construction company falls under MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises), having an Udyog Aadhaar is a plus. It’s not mandatory for all, but if you have it, it makes the registration smoother and gives you some benefits as an MSME.

4. Bank Account Details

You’ll need your company’s bank account details, like the account number, IFSC code, and bank name. This is where you’ll receive payments from the government for any projects or orders you win.

5. Address Proof

Make sure you have a valid address proof for your construction company. It could be a utility bill, rent agreement, or any official document that proves your business location.

6. Authorised Signatory Details

If someone other than the owner is going to handle the GeM account, you’ll need to provide the authorised signatory’s details. This includes their Aadhaar card, PAN card, and contact info.

7. Company Incorporation Certificate

You’ll also need to upload the Certificate of Incorporation if your company is registered as a private limited or limited liability partnership (LLP). This shows that your construction company is officially recognized by the government.

8. Past Performance Documents (if available)

If you’ve already completed some big projects in the past, having documents like work orders or completion certificates can strengthen your profile. This isn’t mandatory, but it’s good to have to show your credibility.

9. Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)

For signing documents and submitting bids, you might need a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). It’s a secure way to verify your company’s identity online, especially for e-bidding.

That’s pretty much it! Once you’ve gathered all these documents, you can easily start your registration on GeM. Just follow the steps, upload the documents, and you’ll be ready to bid for government construction projects in no time.
