Hi, My name is Gulshan Kumar. I registered a firm under partnership act but till date not applied for Vat Registration. I want to participate in Govt. Tenders. I read the eligibility conditions and found that no new established firm can participate in tenders as they required 03 years ITR, Sale Tax REturn, 03Balance Sheet and last 03 year Purchase orders supllied to any govt. deptt. My question is that if someone has started new trading/manufacturing some products how can he participate in these tenders. He should have to wait for 03 years to get audited balance sheet, sale tax return, ITR and ofcourse Purchase order which he cannot get from govt. Is there any other way to participate in tenders bypassing these eligibility conditions. Please guide me. My email is 143.gulshan @ gmail.com
