Udyam Update and Certificate Download: A Step-by-Step Guide
To update Udyam details or download the certificate, open udyamregistration.gov.in, choose the update or print option, and log in with your Udyam Registration Number and the mobile number you registered with. An OTP opens your record. Edit what changed, submit with another OTP, then print a fresh certificate. Both steps are free.
- There is no password. Every login uses your 19-character Udyam number, your registered mobile or email, and a fresh OTP.
- PAN cannot be changed. A new PAN means a new enterprise and a new registration.
- One enterprise may hold only one Udyam registration, so you update the one you have instead of filing again.
- The rules ask you to keep your details current, including income tax and GST data for the previous year. Not doing so can lead to suspension of your MSME status.
- Lost your number? The portal has a "Forgot Udyam/UAM Number" option that works with your mobile or email.

When do you need to update?
Think of the Udyam record as a profile that banks and buyers read. Update it when any of these change:
- your office address, or you open a new unit or godown;
- your bank account;
- your mobile number or email;
- you add an activity, for example you start making some of the products you used to resell;
- you get a GSTIN after registering without one.
What about investment and turnover? For a business that files returns, the portal reads them from income tax and GST data linked to your PAN and resets your category each year. You do not type a new category yourself. If the certificate shows the wrong category, the fix usually starts with the return itself, not with Udyam.
Steps to update your Udyam details
- Open the real portal. Type udyamregistration.gov.in yourself. Lookalike sites charge for what is free here.
- Choose the update option. It is labelled "Update/Cancel Udyam Registration" or reached through the Udyami login.
- Log in. Enter your Udyam number in the format UDYAM-XX-00-0000000, pick mobile or email for the OTP, enter the code shown on screen, and then the OTP.
- Open the form. Your saved details appear. Edit only the parts that changed.
- Check the declaration. Read the figures again, tick the declaration, and submit with the final OTP.
- Print a fresh certificate. Old copies in your bank's file still show the old details, so send the new one.
Steps to download or print the certificate
- On the portal, open the Print/Verify menu and choose "Print Udyam Certificate".
- Log in with the Udyam number and OTP, exactly as above.
- Choose the plain print. A version with an annexure shows extra details such as bank information, so keep that one for your own file.
- Save it as a PDF. You can do this as often as you like. There is no fee for a reprint.
Anyone can check your certificate through the portal's "Verify Udyam Registration Number" option, so a buyer does not need a stamped copy.
What can you change, and where?
| What changed | Can you update it? | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Office address or a new unit | Yes | Add the unit as a new plant or unit; do not overwrite the old one if it still runs |
| Bank account | Yes | Use the business account and the current IFSC |
| Mobile number or email | Yes, once you can log in | If you lost both, the portal points you to the MSME Champions helpdesk or your District Industries Centre |
| New activity or NIC code | Yes | Pick the code for what you really do |
| GSTIN | Yes | Turnover from all GSTINs under your PAN is added together |
| PAN | No | A new company or firm with its own PAN needs its own registration |
| Investment and turnover | Mostly read from your returns | Correct the return if the figure is wrong |
A worked example
Imran registered his Jaipur block-print business as micro in 2024. In FY 2025-26 his turnover grew to Rs 14 crore, while his machines stayed at Rs 90 lakh. At Rs 14 crore he crosses the micro turnover limit of Rs 10 crore, so on the data for that year the portal moves him to small. Small runs up to Rs 25 crore investment and Rs 100 crore turnover.
Does he lose anything? A 2022 notification lets an enterprise that moves up keep the non-tax benefits of its earlier category for three years. And small enterprises keep the 45-day payment protection, so a buyer who owes him Rs 6,00,000 on a 45-day term is still covered. What Imran should do is log in, check that the new category and figures look right, download the new certificate and send it to his bank and his main buyers.
The mistake people usually make
They file a second registration when they cannot get into the first. Maybe the old mobile number is gone, or they forgot the Udyam number. The rules allow only one registration per enterprise, and a duplicate on the same PAN causes trouble with banks later. Use the forgot-number option first. If the mobile and email are both lost, write to the Ministry's helpdesk instead of starting fresh.
The second mistake is ignoring the record for years. A bank that sees an old address or an account you closed will ask questions, and the rules allow suspension when details are not kept current. Set a reminder each year, after you file your income tax return, to log in and check.
Want to see what the certificate is worth? Read what Udyam registration gives you, and if the category surprises you, the MSME limits with examples.
