Why Was Your GeM Registration Application Rejected?

Common reasons why GeM applications get rejected include:

1. Incomplete or Incorrect Documentation
to join GeM, you need a few things.

• PAN Card

• Proof that you have signed up for GST

• Proof that a company was set up

• Describe the bank account

• Proof that you live there

• You need an Aadhaar card to buy things.

• You can sign up as a business or an MSME in India if you need to.

• We most likely won't accept your application if you don't have any of these. Their information should also be right and up to date.

2. Mismatch in Business Details: the information you give on government E-Market place or GeM portal forms like GST and PAN must match the information you give on the GeM application form. If the city, name, or type of business don't match, you might not get the work.

3. Non-Compliance with GeM Policies: The GeM site has strict rules about who can make an account. People whose applications don't follow those rules will be turned down. A company might not be able to join GeM if it is not in one of their accepted groups.

4. Previous Blacklisting or Legal Issues: A government agency's "blacklist" or a history of scams mean that GeM can refuse to work with that person or company.

5. Use of Incorrect Contact Details: GeM checks it as part of the process of adding you. They might not accept you if you give them the wrong email address, phone number, or business address.

6. Duplicate Registration Attempts: One business at a time can use a PAN or GST number. People who try to join more than once are turned down sometimes.

What Happens After a Rejection?

When your GeM registration application is rejected, here’s what you can expect:

1. Notification of Rejection
   You’ll receive an email and a notification on your GeM account explaining why your application was rejected.

2. No Access to GeM Portal Features: You won't be able to add things or services, bid, or do any other business on the GeM portal if your registration is turned down.

3. Limited Time for Rectification: GeM often gives people who have applied a certain amount of time to change their application and send it again. If that doesn't happen, people who want to join might have to start over.

4. Rejection History Remains on Record: GeM keeps track of the ideas that were turned down. If someone tries to sign up again with false information, they might be banned from the site for good.
