If you’re a business owner planning to sell branded products on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM), there’s something important you need to know: OEM panel registration.
It might sound complicated at first, but don’t worry—we’re going to walk you through it in the simplest way possible.
What Is OEM Panel Registration?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. If you are the actual manufacturer of products (or an authorized brand owner), you need to get listed on the OEM panel on GeM.
Basically, OEM panel registration is your official entry ticket to list products under your brand on the platform. Without it, you won’t be able to add your products or authorize resellers.
It’s the first big step if you want to sell directly or let others sell your brand on GeM.
Why Is OEM Registration Important?
Simple: without OEM registration, your brand doesn’t officially exist on the GeM portal.
When you’re listed on the OEM panel, you get:
- Full control over your brand listing
- The power to authorize dealers and resellers
- More trust from government buyers
- Access to bigger and better contracts
Think of it as building your business credibility in front of every government buyer across India.
What Documents Are Needed for OEM Panel Registration?
Here’s what you’ll typically need to get started:
- OEM Authorization Certificate (if applicable — especially if you’re appointing resellers)
- Trademark Certificate (registered, ideally)
- Manufacturing License or proof that you are the actual manufacturer
- Product Brochures or Technical Data Sheets
- Company PAN and GST details
Having these documents ready will make your OEM panel registration smooth and fast.
How Does the OEM Authorization Certificate Come Into Play?
If you’re not selling directly, but instead want your resellers or dealers to sell for you, you’ll need an OEM Authorization Certificate.
This certificate proves that the reseller has your permission to sell your products on GeM. Without it, they can’t list your brand’s products.
It’s basically a formal letter that protects your brand and ensures only genuine sellers are associated with your name.
How Long Does OEM Registration Take?
Typically, it takes 7–15 working days after submitting your complete application. If documents are missing or unclear, it could take longer—so getting everything right the first time is crucial.
