Why Make in India (MII) Compliance Matters on GeM
The Government e-Marketplace (GeM) strictly enforces the Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order issued by the DPIIT. When listing products as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or reseller, declaring accurate local content is mandatory.
Incorrectly uploading certificates, mismatched declarations, or failing to substantiate local content percentages frequently triggers portal rejections, suspension of catalog items, or disqualification during bid evaluation. Our specialized guidance ensures your MII certificates are formatted correctly and mapped seamlessly onto the GeM portal dashboard.

Rejections typically occur due to incorrect formatting, mismatched local content percentages between the document and portal entry, lack of statutory auditor signature where required, or blurry document scans.
2. Is MII certification mandatory for all products on GeM?
While not every product category strictly restricts non-MII items, declaring local content is mandatory for participating in protected government tenders and securing purchase preferences on GeM.
