Updating Firm Details in PWD Registration
A registration that shows the wrong partners or the wrong address causes trouble at exactly the wrong moment - during bid evaluation.
Why stale details cause bid rejections
During evaluation, the department checks that the bidder in front of them matches the registered contractor. Where the firm has changed — a partner left, the constitution changed, the address moved, the name is spelled differently — the mismatch is a question mark on a bid, and questions at that stage are answered by rejecting.
It is entirely avoidable, and updating is far quicker than arguing after a rejection.
What has to be updated
- Change of partners or directors, with the amended deed or resolution
- Change of constitution — proprietorship to partnership, partnership to company. This is the biggest one, because it is a new entity with a new PAN
- Registered address, matching what GST and the bank show
- Firm name, including a spelling correction that seems trivial and is not
- Bank account details, which matter for security deposit and payment release
- Technical staff where an engineer whose credentials supported the class has left

Constitution change is the one to plan around
Converting from a proprietorship to a partnership or company creates a new legal person with a new PAN. Whether your completed-work record carries across to the new entity depends on the department's rules, and the answer is worth having before you convert rather than after.
Contractors have converted mid-cycle for tax reasons and found their experience credentials did not follow. Ask first.
