Update Udyam Registration Details
Fill in your details and describe the changes needed to your Udyam Certificate
How to update Udyam Registration online
A Udyam update does not create a new registration. Your Udyam Number stays the same and the portal issues a revised certificate with the corrected details. The form above files the change for you, and these are the steps behind it.
- Start with your Udyam Number. It is the 19-character number in the format UDYAM-XX-00-0000000 printed on your certificate.
- Verify with OTP. A one-time password goes to the mobile number or email given in the original application. Without it the portal will not open the record for editing.
- Change only what needs changing. The existing details load on screen. The fields that are wrong get corrected and the rest stay as they are.
- Submit and download the revised certificate. Once the update is accepted, the new certificate carries the same Udyam Number with the updated details.
You can also make the change yourself at udyamregistration.gov.in using the “Update Details” option. The Government does not charge anything for a Udyam update. Our fee is only for checking the details and filing the change on your behalf.
Udyam registration name change: how to change the business name
A business name change is the edit people ask about most. It is allowed as long as the PAN of the enterprise stays the same. A spelling correction, a new trade name or a rebrand under the same PAN is filed as an ordinary update.
It is different when the legal entity itself changes. If a proprietorship becomes a partnership, an LLP or a company, the new entity has its own PAN, and a Udyam registration is tied to the PAN. In that case the old registration cannot simply be renamed. The new entity needs a fresh Udyam Registration.
Before you ask for a name change, check that the new name matches your PAN and GST records. A mismatch between the three is the usual reason an update gets stuck. Our guide to the PAN mismatch error explains how to fix it.
What you can and cannot edit on a Udyam certificate
Most details on the certificate can be updated at any time:
- Name of the enterprise, under the same PAN.
- Address of the office or of the plant or unit, including adding a new unit.
- Business activity and NIC codes. You can add, remove or replace activities. See how to add a second business activity and the NIC code finder.
- Bank account details, when you move the business account.
- Number of employees, and investment and turnover figures.
A few things cannot be edited. The applicant’s name and Aadhaar number are fixed, and so are the state and district of the registration. The PAN cannot be swapped for another one. If the registered mobile number is the problem, read how to change the mobile number in Udyam first, because the OTP for every other edit depends on it.
Udyam address change: office, plant and unit addresses
An address change is the most routine Udyam update. The certificate holds two kinds of address: the official address of the enterprise and the address of each plant or unit. Either can be changed, and a new unit can be added when the business opens another location.
Keep the new address the same as it appears on your GST registration or a recent utility bill or lease. Banks compare the two, and a mismatch is a common reason for a loan query. The state and district of the original registration stay as they are.
Udyam modification: other details people change
- Mobile number and email. These receive every OTP, so update them before anything else if they have changed.
- Bank account. Needed when the business moves its account or opens a current account.
- Type of organisation details. Corrections to partner or director details under the same PAN.
- Social category, gender and special status of the owner, if entered wrongly at the start.
- Employees, investment and turnover. The portal expects these to stay current, because they decide whether the enterprise is Micro, Small or Medium.
Udyam update or a fresh registration: which one do you need?
An update is enough when the business is the same legal entity with the same PAN and only its details have changed. That covers a new address, a new activity, a corrected name, new bank details or revised employee numbers.
A fresh registration is needed in two situations. The first is a change of constitution that brings a new PAN. The second is when you only hold an old Udyog Aadhaar and never moved to Udyam, because Udyog Aadhaar records can no longer be edited.
Common Udyam update problems and how to fix them
The OTP goes to an old mobile number
The portal sends the OTP to the mobile number or email in your application. If you no longer have that number, try the email option. If neither is reachable, mention it in the form and we will explain the route that applies to you.
You do not remember the Udyam Number
The update cannot start without it. Recover it through the Forgot Udyam Number service and then request the edit.
The certificate still shows the old details
The earlier PDF does not change by itself. After an update you need to download the certificate again. Use the Udyam certificate download page to get the revised copy.
You are unsure which NIC code to add
Choosing a code that does not match what the business actually does is a common reason for rejected tenders and loan queries later. Search your activity in the NIC code finder before you send the request.
