According to the Legal Metrology Act a package commodity can not have more than one MRP affixed on it. The same provision applies to the Central Excise Act where in if there are more than one MRPs on the commodity the duty is to be paid on the highest of the two.

You can affix a new sticker of MRP on the old MRP. Note that the old MRP should not be visible or should be stricked off.
