Required Documents & Company Details Checklist
Updated 8/25/20263 min read
To complete vendor registration smoothly and avoid back-and-forth during approval, keep the following information and documents ready before you start the form:
Company Details section:
- Legal company name (exactly as registered)
- Owner name
- Organisation Type (Manufacturer / Trader / Service Provider)
- Company Type (Firm / Company)
- Company website (if available)
- Corporate Identification Number (CIN) and CIN Date
- Established Year
Registered Address section:
- Full legal business address, including pin code and state — this should match official documents to avoid verification mismatches.
Contact Person section:
- Primary contact's full name, designation, phone number, and email address.
Manufacturers / Traders section:
- Product categories manufactured or traded, relevant certifications for those categories, and manufacturing/trading capacity if requested.
Top Customers section:
- Names of reference clients — this is optional but strongly recommended, as it builds credibility and can speed up approval for new vendors.
Certification section:
- Any ISO, quality, safety, or industry-specific compliance certificates, typically uploaded as PDF/image attachments.
Bank Details section:
- Bank account number, IFSC code, account holder name, and bank branch — required for future payment processing once orders begin.
Direct answer: Having your CIN, Established Year, and complete Bank Details ready in advance is the single biggest time-saver, since these are commonly mandatory fields that cause the most delays when missing or entered incorrectly.
Tip: Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory — the form will not let you proceed to the next step until these specific fields are filled correctly. Double-check spelling on company and owner names, since these often become the reference point for all future PO and payment documentation.
Pre-registration checklist (printable):
- Legal company name and owner name confirmed
- CIN number and date on hand
- Registered address matches official documents
- Primary contact details finalized
- Product/trading categories identified
- At least 1–2 reference clients ready to list
- Certification documents scanned and ready to upload
- Bank account details verified and ready
Why gathering documents in advance saves real time: Registration involves 14 sequential sections, and getting stuck at any one of them — most commonly Bank Details or Certification, since these require exact, verifiable numbers and file uploads — breaks the momentum of an otherwise 15–20 minute process into multiple disjointed sessions. Preparing everything as a single checklist beforehand keeps the entire registration in one sitting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Company Website mandatory?
No, it's typically optional, though providing it can help build trust during internal verification.
What file formats are accepted for Certification uploads?
Most document upload fields across the portal accept PDF, PNG, JPG, Excel, and Word formats, generally with a file size limit (commonly up to 20MB per file).
Can I use a personal bank account instead of a company account for Bank Details?
It's strongly recommended to use the company's registered business bank account, since payments and formal documentation are typically issued in the company's legal name.
What if I don't have a CIN number (e.g., I'm a proprietorship)?
Depending on your organisation type and local regulations, this field may not be strictly mandatory — check with your internal contact if you're unsure how to proceed.
Do I need separate certifications for Manufacturers and Traders sections?
Yes, if applicable — certifications relevant to manufacturing quality differ from those relevant to trading/distribution, so list them under the correct section.
Should I list every single reference client, or just the most relevant ones?
Quality over quantity — 2 to 3 strong, verifiable, relevant reference clients are typically more useful for approval than a long unverified list.
