Certifications & Compliance
Local-content documentation for Make in India public procurement.
Overview
Under the Public Procurement (Make in India) framework, government buyers give purchase preference based on the local content of goods, services or works. Suppliers declare their local content when bidding.
Suppliers are classified — for example, as Class-I or Class-II local suppliers — based on the percentage of local content. The declaration must be accurate and supported by records, and higher values may need certification from an auditor or cost accountant as specified in the bid.
Getting this documentation right matters, because false declarations can have serious consequences in public procurement.
