Definition
GeM organises everything it sells into product and service categories, each with a standard specification template and terms. A buyer creates a bid in a category, and only sellers offering that category can participate. Similar-sounding categories can be different (for example different versions of the same service), so match the exact category name in the bid.
In simple words
Category GeM ka 'section' hai — tender jis section mein, usi section ke sellers bid kar sakte hain.
