Core features and benefits of e-NAM
e-NAM transforms traditional mandi trading by integrating physical marketplaces with a digital auction platform.
Key system features include:
- Transparent electronic bidding (e-auction) replacing opaque physical commission bidding.
- Scientific quality assaying and grading facilities established within participating APMC mandi yards.
- Automated electronic weighing integration to eliminate manual weightment manipulations.
- Direct online settlement of sales proceeds into farmers' bank accounts via integrated payment gateways.
Farmer registration and gate entry process
Farmers can register through the e-NAM mobile application or at the registration counter of any integrated mandi.
Trading process steps:
- Provide Aadhaar card, bank account passbook copy, and registered mobile number for registration.
- Upon arrival at the mandi gate, generate a digital Gate Entry slip detailing commodity name, variety, and lot quantity.
- Trained assayers sample the lot and upload quality parameters (moisture, foreign matter, grain size) to the digital lot record.
Online auction, price discovery and settlement
Assayed lots are displayed on the e-NAM bidding dashboard, allowing licensed local and inter-state traders to place competitive electronic bids. Once the farmer reviews and accepts the highest bid price, an electronic sale agreement is generated, and the buyer deposits payment directly into the farmer's bank account.
