Micro and Small Enterprises get real advantages on GeM — purchase preference and earnest-money exemption — but only when the claim is backed by the right evidence and the right policy order. Here is how to get it right.
1. Confirm your status
Keep a current Udyam registration on file. GemExpert reads your register and flags whether the MSE claim is supported before you bid.
2. Enclose the order the claim rests on
The Public Procurement Policy for MSEs (2012) and its 2018 amendment grant the benefit. GemExpert's policy-enclosure library attaches the right extract, in the right GeM slot.
3. Do not over-claim
Traders are excluded from parts of the policy, and performance security is still required. The eligibility read tells you exactly what you can and cannot claim.
