What are the most common reasons GeM applications are rejected?
1. Name mismatches between PAN, GST, and bank documents.
2. Expired certificates (Udyam, GST).
3. Wrong category or vertical mapping.
4. Incomplete required product specifications on catalog items.
5. Missing authorised-signatory proof.
6. EMD not paid where exemption wasn't correctly claimed.
7. Bid submitted after deadline due to last-minute portal issues.
