@Sadhan30 Am in same situation as you and came across your post.

My wife's who was on DP till date, her EP is approved.
As next step are we required to cancel her DP first? Checking with you since you may have gone through this process recently.

Will she have to submit her DP IC and get a new EP IC?
Given it will also involve my current employer if cancelling in required, wanted to get some guidance from you.

Hope you can help

Your current employer needs to cancel her DP, your wife鈥檚 new employer will have to get her new EP issued on the basis of the IPA. The physical card is to be either submitted back to your erstwhile employer, MoM or destroyed (your HR will guide you). It ain鈥檛 complicated a process, pretty straight forward.
