Portal Guide
MahaTenders (mahatenders.gov.in) is Maharashtra's centralized e-Procurement portal, registering your DSC correctly is required before you can bid on any tender.
You'll need a valid Class 3 Combo DSC before starting this process, since bid documents are encrypted.
Visit mahatenders.gov.in, click 'Online Bidder Enrolment', and fill in your company details, PAN, email and mobile number.
Complete the captcha and verify your registration via the OTP sent to your mobile, then confirm via the email verification link.
Once verified, log in using your new credentials.
Navigate to your profile's 'Signing Certificate' or 'DSC' section, this is where you map your Class 3 DSC to your bidder account.
Make sure your Combo DSC token is connected and its drivers are installed before this step.
Select 'Upload' or 'Map Certificate', choose your DSC from the connected token, and confirm.
Once your DSC is mapped, you can search tenders and submit encrypted bids using your registered certificate.
If your DSC isn't recognized during mapping, check that you're using a Combo (not Signing-only) certificate, MahaTenders requires encryption for bid submission, same as most government e-procurement portals. Also confirm your browser's security settings allow the signing utility to run, and that your token drivers are current.
