Udyam Re-Registration is required whenever an enterprise changes its ownership, PAN, or legal constitution.
Because your Udyam certificate is permanently linked to your PAN, any transfer, merger, or name-change that generates a new PAN automatically demands a fresh registration.
This guide explains when re-registration becomes mandatory, how to complete it online, and how to preserve your MSME benefits without interruption.

1️⃣ What Is Udyam Re-Registration?
Udyam Re-Registration means applying for a new Udyam Registration Number (URN) when your existing business identity changes in a way that the previous PAN or ownership no longer applies.
This ensures that your new entity remains recognized as an MSME under the MSMED Act 2006.
Typical cases include:
Company converted from proprietorship to Pvt Ltd
Partnership replaced with LLP
Takeover or new owner acquiring assets
PAN re-issued by Income Tax Dept after restructuring
Re-registration preserves eligibility for MSME loans, subsidies, and tender preferences.
2️⃣ When Is Re-Registration Mandatory?
Re-registration is compulsory if:
✅ Your PAN changes (due to new entity or constitution)
✅ The ownership transfers to another individual or company
✅ You form a new partnership or LLP
✅ Business merges or splits into new entities
✅ You close the old business and start fresh under a different name
📌 Not required if: You only update address, GST, or contact information using the Update Details menu.
3️⃣ Documents and Information Needed
Keep these ready before you begin:
New Aadhaar of proprietor or authorized signatory
New PAN card of enterprise
Latest GST registration (if applicable)
Business address proof
Bank account details
Email & mobile linked with Aadhaar
NIC code for business activity
💡 Tip: Use the same contact email as previous Udyam certificate for easy cross-reference.
4️⃣ Step-by-Step Process to Apply for Re-Registration Online
1️⃣ Go to the official portal: https://udyamregistration.gov.in
2️⃣ Select “For New Entrepreneurs not Registered yet as MSME”
3️⃣ Enter Aadhaar Number and validate via OTP
4️⃣ Add PAN of the new business → auto fetch details from IT & GST databases
5️⃣ Fill communication address, bank details, and NIC codes
6️⃣ Review investment and turnover information
7️⃣ Click Submit & Generate Udyam Certificate
✅ Your new URN is issued instantly and sent by email + SMS.
5️⃣ How to Transfer Udyam Registration After Ownership Change
You cannot “transfer” the existing Udyam certificate between owners because the URN is linked to PAN.
Instead:
The new owner applies for fresh Udyam registration.
The previous owner should update the old certificate status to “inactive.”
Notify banks and clients about the new Udyam number.
This ensures smooth continuity in loans, GST, and e-tender registrations.
6️⃣ Linking Old and New Udyam Certificates
Although the portal does not automatically link certificates, you can maintain traceability by keeping both numbers on record.
Recommended practice:
Mention the previous URN in the remarks of the new application.
Retain both PDF certificates for audits or government verification.
7️⃣ Common Re-Registration Errors and Fixes
| Error Message | Probable Cause | Fix / Solution |
|---|---|---|
| PAN already registered | Old Udyam still active | Deactivate old certificate before re-registering |
| Mobile not linked to Aadhaar | Outdated KYC or Aadhaar data | Update Aadhaar details on UIDAI portal |
| URN not generated | Server timeout or portal error | Retry after a few minutes or during non-peak hours |
| GST mismatch | Different legal names on PAN / GST | Match business name across PAN, GST, and Udyam records |
8️⃣ Benefits of Re-Registering Promptly
✅ Avoids loss of MSME status and subsidies
✅ Ensures PAN & GST data sync for tax filings
✅ Keeps access to priority sector loans
✅ Maintains credibility for tenders and suppliers
✅ Simplifies future updates and renewals
9️⃣ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. Can I re-register using the same Aadhaar but different PAN?

Q2. Do I need to cancel my old certificate first?
Not mandatory, but recommended to mark it inactive to avoid data conflicts.
Q3. Will I lose previous MSME benefits?
No, you can continue schemes after sharing the new Udyam URN with banks and departments.
Q4. Can I migrate Udyog Aadhaar to new Udyam directly after PAN change?
