What This Means

This rule explains how GeM ensures that sellers are legitimate and their information is accurate. When a seller registers or operates on GeM, the platform doesn't create new identity data. Instead, it checks all the details provided by the seller against official government databases such as PAN (for tax details), MCA 21 (for company registration), and Udyam Registration (for MSME status). For financial information, the PAN or Income Tax database is the most important source and will be used as the definitive record if there's any conflict with other data.

If the information a seller provides on GeM doesn't match what's in these official government databases, their registration won't be allowed. Even after registration, if a discrepancy is found, the seller's account will be automatically suspended. It's entirely the seller's job to make sure all their information on GeM is always up-to-date and consistent with these official government records. If there's a change, they must update it on GeM within seven days, otherwise, they could face penalties. If there's a difference between GeM and an official database, the seller must first correct the information in the official database before updating it on GeM. GeM will only use the validated information from these external sources to determine a seller's eligibility for contracts or government benefits.
