The Director of Legal Metrology, Government of India, in his letter No. WN-9-(7)/93 dated 14.9.1993, addressed to the President, Marking Systems Association of India, New Delhi, has clarified that there is no bar on the manufacturer to blank out the earlier declaration and re-print the revised declaration before packaging. The revised price should not be printed over and above the blanked out price.
It must be noted that if we choose to affix a label on the package for making declarations, all the seven 
(7) declarations must be made on the same label though some declarations are already pre printed on the package. Nothing should be pasted on the label where the declarations are made and nobody should be allowed to tamper with the declarations. It must be ensured that the declarations once made are not changed under any circumstances. Part declarations on package and part on the label is prohibited by the law.
Typically, the Legal Metrology Act  (and the Rules made thereunder) do not allow relabeling of products for subsequent change in MRP. However, relabeling for reduction in MRP is permitted.

Conclusion:

The Company may change the PDP saying there was reduction in price hence new PDP was pasted over old one. Keeping in mind that new one could not smuged easily
