Frequently Asked Questions
1 Is it common to get rejected on GeM portal?
Yes, rejection on the first attempt is surprisingly common — especially PAN-Aadhaar mismatches and document quality issues. Estimates suggest 30-40% of first-time GeM applicants face some form of rejection or error that needs resolution. The important thing is that rejection is always fixable, and GeM does not penalize you for multiple attempts.
2 How long does it take to reapply after GeM rejection?
You can reapply immediately after fixing the rejection reason — there is no mandatory waiting period. The key is to properly identify and fix the exact issue mentioned in the rejection notice. Submitting the same incorrect application again just results in another rejection. Fix first, then resubmit.
3 What is the most common reason for GeM registration rejection?
PAN-Aadhaar name mismatch is the single most common rejection reason, accounting for roughly 40% of all GeM registration rejections. Even a small difference — a missing initial, an extra space, or a spelling variation — causes automatic rejection. Check both documents for exact name match before applying.
