Yes, absolutely
Yes, you can become a seller on Government platforms like GeM (Government e‑Marketplace) solely based on your MSME Udyam registration—with no separate GeM registration required. Here's how it works:
🧾 Udyam → GeM Automatic Integration
-
When you register on the Udyam portal, one question asks: “Are you interested in getting registered on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) Portal?”
-
If you select "Yes", your Udyam data (Aadhaar/PAN/GST etc.) is automatically shared with GeM via API, eliminating the need for separate GeM signup (The Financial Express).
-
-
The Udyam portal is integrated with GeM, CPPP, TReDS, and other government systems, enabling instant seller access once registered (Udyam Registration).
✅ Benefits of Selling on GeM via Udyam
-
Instant seller onboarding – no separate vetting or documentation upload required .
-
Access to government orders – GeM handles tenders, orders, and transparent procurement.
-
Preferential treatment for MSMEs – exemptions from bid security (EMD), relaxed eligibility, and subsidy benefits
-
Timely payments – GeM ensures prompt payment flow after delivery acceptance .
🛠How to Get Started

After submission, you receive a Udyam Certificate with URN and dynamic QR code
-
Using the same Aadhaar-linked mobile/email, your GeM account is auto-created.
-
Log in at gem.gov.in, finalize your profile, add product/service listings, and start selling
