Frequently Asked Questions
1 Can I use a scanned copy of documents for GeM registration?
Yes, scanned copies are acceptable and required for GeM registration — you cannot submit physical documents. Ensure scans are clear, color, and all text is readable. Avoid phone camera photos with shadows or distortion. Recommended: use a proper flatbed scanner or a good scanning app like CamScanner. File format: JPG or PDF, size: 100KB to 2MB per document.
2 Do all documents need to be self-attested for GeM?
Self-attestation is not mandatory for all documents on GeM. The portal verifies most documents digitally against government databases (GST portal, Income Tax, UIDAI). For documents that cannot be auto-verified, upload the original scan without any watermark or modification.
3 How old can documents be for GeM registration?
PAN and Aadhaar have no expiry. GST certificate must be current and active. Business registration documents should be valid and not expired. Bank account details must reflect your current active account. Udyam registration has no expiry date since it replaced the earlier time-bound Udyog Aadhaar.
