Understanding the GeM Product Approval Process for Sellers
Getting products approved on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) can feel confusing, especially for new sellers. Many listings face delays or rejections simply because sellers are not fully aware of how the GeM product approval process works and what the platform expects during verification.
When a product is uploaded on GeM, it goes through several checks such as specification accuracy, correct category selection, brand and OEM validation, document verification, and image quality review. Even minor issues—like mismatched specifications, incomplete documents, or unclear product descriptions—can result in rejection or extended approval timelines.
Understanding common rejection reasons helps sellers avoid repeated mistakes. Following GeM guidelines carefully, uploading accurate information, and ensuring compliance with quality standards can significantly improve approval chances. Sellers who prepare their listings properly often experience faster catalogue approval and better visibility on the platform.
This detailed guide explains the GeM product approval process, highlights common errors sellers make, and shares practical tips to speed up approval and reduce rejections.
