Understanding Class-II Local Supplier Status

Under the Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order governed by the DPIIT, suppliers whose goods or services incorporate local content between 20% and less than 50% are officially designated as Class-II Local Suppliers.

While Class-1 suppliers enjoy top-tier reservation preferences, Class-II suppliers remain fully eligible to participate in government tenders where local content restrictions permit or where Class-1 bids are insufficient. Accurate self-declaration and verification are vital: misrepresenting local content bands can lead to bid disqualification or vendor debarment. Our expert guidance ensures your bill of materials is meticulously reviewed and correctly certified.

Our Comprehensive Guidance Scope

We handle all technical and documentation steps required to establish your Class-II supplier credentials:

BOM Content Band Verification

Auditing raw material costs and import proportions to confirm your product falls strictly within the 20%–50% bracket.

Statutory Undertaking Drafting

Preparing legal declarations outlining exact local content percentages as mandated by tendering authorities.

Chartered Accountant Coordination

Coordinating with practicing CAs to validate high-value tender documentation and audit reports.

GeM Catalog Alignment

Updating your product listings on the GeM portal with accurate Class-II supplier attributes.

Our Step-by-Step Verification Methodology

We follow a precise, structured approach to calculate and document your domestic value addition:

  1. Bill of Materials Intake: Collecting itemized component lists, raw material purchase invoices, and production breakdowns.
  2. Value Addition Calculation: Applying standard DPIIT formulas to separate domestic value addition from imported contents.
  3. Band Confirmation: Verifying that the final local content ratio rests securely between 20% and 49.99%.
  4. Declaration & CA Endorsement: Formatting the official compliance certificate and securing auditor validation when required.
  5. Portal & Tender Integration: Ensuring your certificate is correctly integrated into your GeM profile and bid submissions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the local content percentage range for Class-II suppliers?

Class-II local suppliers must have local content equal to or greater than 20% but less than 50% in their offered goods or services.

2. Can Class-II suppliers bid on all government tenders?

Class-II suppliers can bid on general tenders and tenders where local content criteria permit. However, tenders specifically reserved for Class-1 local suppliers will exclude Class-2 participants.

3. Is a CA certificate required for Class-II self-declaration?

For tenders valued above ₹10 crores, a certificate from a statutory auditor or practicing Chartered Accountant is mandatory. For smaller orders, a signed self-declaration on company letterhead is standard.

4. What happens if our local content calculation is found incorrect?

Inaccurate or false local content declarations can result in immediate bid rejection, contract cancellation, forfeiture of deposits, and potential debarment from government e-procurement portals.
