GeM stands for Government e-Marketplace, which is an Indian online platform for procurement of goods and services for government organizations.
The vendor exemption on GeM refers to a system of exemptions and waivers that allows certain categories of vendors to be exempt from certain registration and compliance requirements on the GeM platform.
These exemptions are typically given to small businesses, start-ups, and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) as a way to encourage their participation on the platform and to promote inclusive procurement by the government.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
