Why we picked it Enterprise procurement in India kills deals on paperwork before anyone judges your work, and this is the precise list of what their vendor-onboarding portal will ask you to upload. It names every document (PAN, GSTIN certificate they will verify against gstin.gov.in, cancelled cheque, address proof that matches your GST address, Certificate of Incorporation, NDA and MSA acknowledgment) so you assemble the folder once and never lose weeks scrambling. Its sharpest India-specific point: flag your Udyam/MSME registration, because it triggers a 45-day payment SLA with interest accruing at 3x the RBI bank rate from day 46 if the buyer misses it.

  • The universal ask is PAN, GSTIN certificate, cancelled cheque, and address proof matching your GST registration, have these ready before your first enterprise conversation
  • Your GST address must match your address proof exactly or verification stalls, a common silent deal-killer for solo shops working from home
  • Registering under Udyam/MSME and flagging it puts you under the MSMED Act 45-day payment protection, real leverage a solo vendor usually leaves on the table
