Frequently Asked Questions
1 What is OEM authorization on GeM portal?
OEM authorization is a formal letter from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (brand owner) giving a reseller or distributor permission to list and sell their products on GeM portal. Without this letter, resellers cannot list products under a branded UNSPSC category. The letter must be on the OEM's letterhead, signed by an authorized representative, and specify the products authorized for GeM listing.
2 Do I need OEM authorization if I manufacture my own products?
No. If you are the manufacturer of your own branded products (OEM), you do not need any authorization letter. You can directly apply for brand approval on GeM to register your brand name, which then prevents unauthorized resellers from using your brand name in their listings.
3 What should an OEM authorization letter for GeM contain?
A valid GeM OEM authorization letter must include: OEM company name and address, OEM GeM ID, authorized reseller name and GeM ID, specific products authorized for listing (with model numbers or category description), valid period of authorization, signature of OEM's authorized signatory, and OEM's letterhead with official stamp.
4 Can OEM authorization be revoked?
Yes, OEMs can revoke authorization at any time. If authorization is revoked, the reseller's existing listings under that brand are removed from GeM. Resellers should maintain good relationships with their OEM partners and ensure authorization is renewed before expiry.
