Conversion of an existing Contractor License is sought for changing the Applicant Type (From Individual to Sole Proprietorship Firm/Partnership): 

1) Individual: The applicant may apply for Conversion of the Individual Contractor License into a “Partnership Firm” Contractor License in case he/she wants to retain the credentials (such as the work experience, number of projects completed under the License, etc.) of the Individual Contractor License and create a “Partnership Firm” Contractor License where another partner is added to the firm. 

The applicant will enter the existing “License No” of the Individual Contractor License and search when all the form details are fetched from the backend; the application fields are editable. Now, the applicant will select “Partnership Firm” from the drop-down list for “Type of Business” field; all details of the partnership firm must be entered (similar to new registration). All the supporting documents for a “Partnership Firm” must be uploaded along with a court affidavit mentioning all liabilities and credentials.

2) Sole Proprietorship Firm: Similar is the case with Sole Proprietorship Firm. The applicant may apply for Conversion of the “Sole Proprietorship Firm” Contractor License into a “Partnership Firm” Contractor License in case he/she wants to retain the credentials (such as the work experience, number of projects completed under the License, etc.) of the “Sole Proprietorship Firm” Contractor License and create a “Partnership Firm” Contractor License where another partner is added to the firm. 

The applicant will enter the existing “License No” of the Contractor License and search when all the form details are fetched from the backend; the application fields are editable. Now, the applicant will select “Partnership Firm” from the drop-down list for “Type of Business” field; all details of the partnership firm must be entered (similar to new registration). All the supporting documents for a “Partnership Firm” must be uploaded along with a court affidavit mentioning all liabilities and credentials.

3) Partnership Firm: Limited partners can be removed or added; hence if there is a change in partners, Contractor License must be updated and Conversions of Contractor License must be applied; however, the partnership license must be cancelled if all limited partners leave.

The applicant may apply for Conversion of the “Partnership Firm” Contractor License in case he/she wants to add or remove a partner in the “Partnership Firm” Contractor License. For example, this is seen in case of demise of a father and addition of son/daughter to the “Partnership Firm” Contractor License.

The applicant enters the existing “License No” of the Contractor License and search when all the form details are fetched from the backend; the application fields are editable. The applicant may modify all the fields in the application form and submit (similar to new registration). All the supporting documents for a “Partnership Firm” must be uploaded along with a court affidavit mentioning all liabilities and credentials.

4) Company: A company owned Contractor License are not allowed to convert into Individual/ Sole Proprietorship Firm / Partnership Firm. Again, Company licenses are tied to the number, not the individuals. Hence, any change of leadership within companies does not affect the ownership of license; but any change in the company such as merging, dissolving, or surrendering business rights will lead to cancellation of the license altogether.
