Importer Exporter Code applications for 100ft Road Koyambedu exporters are filed on dgft.gov.in under Section 7 of the FT(D&R) Act 1992 with Aadhaar OTP authentication and ₹500 fee — IEC issued instantly on clean PAN-bank-address validation.
A dedicated DGFT consultant in 100ft Road Koyambedu drafts ANF-2A on the DGFT portal, validates PAN-bank-address consistency, walks the signatory through Aadhaar OTP and follows up on any officer query. Annual update during 1-April to 30-June is monitored to prevent IEC deactivation.
Beyond IEC, FTP benefits demand RCMC from a designated EPC under Para 2.59 of FTP 2023, AD Code registration at the Customs port and ICEGATE enrolment. RoDTEP scrips, Duty Drawback and IGST refund routes are configured at first shipment.
Manufacturer-exporters in 100ft Road Koyambedu access duty-free imports under EPCG (Chapter 5 FTP 2023) and Advance Authorisation (Chapter 4 FTP 2023), or operate under Section 65 Customs Bonded Manufacturing (MOOWR Regulations 2019) with full duty deferral and zero duty on exports.
The IEC is permanent, but the Foreign Trade Policy 2023 requires electronic confirmation or updation every year during April to June, even when nothing has changed. Missing this deactivates the IEC and blocks customs clearance until it is updated.
GSTIN and IEC serve different purposes. Customs validates the IEC on shipping bills and bills of entry, so an IEC is generally required for goods import or export regardless of GST. Some service transactions are exempt, but incentive claims usually still need an IEC.
No. Only one IEC is allotted per PAN under the Foreign Trade Policy 2023. If a firm inadvertently holds a duplicate, the extra IEC must be surrendered through ANF 2A; DGFT may otherwise suspend the codes until the duplication is resolved.
An AD (Authorised Dealer) Code is issued by your bank and registered at each port on ICEGATE. Without an AD-Code registration linked to your IEC, Customs will not let you file a shipping bill, so exports cannot physically move.
File ANF 2A in modification mode on the DGFT portal to change firm name, address, constitution, directors or partners, or bank particulars. Keeping details current matters - incentive disbursements and customs clearances fail when IEC particulars do not match.
Yes. A firm that stops importing or exporting can surrender its IEC through ANF 2A on the DGFT portal. DGFT then intimates Customs and the RBI, preventing future misuse of a dormant code linked to your PAN.

The Import Export Code (IEC) is a 10-digit identification number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade under Section 7 of the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act 1992. The FTDR Act 1992 replaced the older Imports and Exports (Control) Act 1947 and established a statutory framework that emphasises trade promotion over trade control. Section 7 of the FTDR Act makes IEC mandatory for any person undertaking the import or export of goods, with limited exemptions notified by the Central Government. The IEC number, once issued, is permanent and is linked to the Permanent Account Number of the holder under the rationalisation introduced by DGFT Notification 09/2015-20 dated 12-June-2017. The Foreign Trade Policy 2023, which replaced FTP 2015-20 with effect from 01-April-2023, continues the FTDR-Act-based architecture and consolidates IEC issuance, modification, and deactivation rules in Chapter 1 and the Handbook of Procedures.
DGFT Notification 27/2015-20 dated 08-Aug-2018 and the corresponding FTP 2023 provisions clarify that IEC is not required for: (a) import or export of goods for personal use not connected with trade, manufacture, or agriculture; (b) import or export by Central or State Government departments; (c) import or export by specified charitable institutions; (d) services exports unless the exporter intends to claim FTP benefits. Despite these exemptions, AD Category-I banks under FEMA regulations frequently require IEC for processing inward remittances against export proceeds — leading services exporters to obtain IEC voluntarily. The practical consequence is that IEC is functionally near-universal for cross-border commerce, even where strict FTDR-Act mandate is absent.
Following DGFT Notification 09/2015-20 dated 12-June-2017, IEC numbers are now identical to the holder's PAN, replacing the earlier system of distinct 10-digit codes. The one-IEC-per-PAN rule means that a single entity (proprietorship, partnership, LLP, company, society, HUF) cannot hold multiple IECs. Where group entities share a common promoter family, each separate legal person obtains its own PAN-linked IEC. This architecture aligns with the post-GST trade-identity rationalisation and integrates IEC with GSTIN, ICEGATE and the AD-bank reporting ecosystems for end-to-end traceability of trade transactions.
The trajectory of IEC and the broader trade-identity ecosystem points towards integration: IEC + GSTIN + PAN + AEO + Status Holder + AD Code increasingly function as a single, federated trade-identity stack accessible across DGFT, CBIC, RBI, and FTA-partner-country authorities. The Indian Single Window (SWIFT) and the Account Aggregator framework hint at the architecture of a future unified-trade-data layer. For IEC-holders, the strategic implication is investment in data quality, compliance discipline, and proactive engagement with the digital trade-facilitation ecosystem — IEC ceases to be a one-time registration and becomes a continuous compliance posture.
FTP 2023 institutionalised the Districts as Export Hubs (DEH) initiative — identifying at least one export product or service per district and creating district-level export action plans. State-level export promotion committees and district-level export councils operationalise the initiative. The aim is to broaden the export base beyond traditional hubs by surfacing one-district-one-product (ODOP) potential. IEC holders in identified districts may access targeted handholding and capacity-building support.
The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), entering full operation from 01-January-2026, imposes carbon-equivalent levies on imports of cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity, and hydrogen from non-EU countries. Indian exporters in these sectors face increased reporting and ultimately financial obligations. Beyond CBAM, ESG-related export-market access barriers (EU Deforestation Regulation, US Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act) require Indian exporters to develop supply-chain traceability and ESG-reporting capability — well beyond traditional IEC-RCMC compliance.
The IEC application carries a government fee of ₹500 payable online via net banking, debit card, or UPI on the DGFT portal. After payment, the application is verified using DSC (for entities) or Aadhaar OTP (for proprietorships). The DGFT system issues an Application Reference Number (ARN) immediately on successful submission. Real-time tracking of application status is available on the portal; deficiency memos, if any, are issued within 1-2 working days and the applicant must respond through the same portal.
Under the digitised regime, IEC is typically issued within 1-2 working days of complete application submission. The IEC certificate is generated as a digitally signed PDF downloadable from the DGFT portal — there is no physical certificate. The certificate displays the IEC number (identical to PAN), entity name, address, branch details, and issue date. The digital certificate is acceptable to Customs (ICEGATE), AD banks, port authorities, and FTA-partner-country authorities. The WTO Agreement on Trade Facilitation 2017, ratified by India in 2016, underpins this paperless and time-bound issuance regime.
Before initiating an IEC application, the applicant should collate: PAN of the entity (mandatory — IEC mirrors the PAN); Aadhaar of the proprietor / authorised signatory; Certificate of Incorporation / Partnership Deed / LLP Agreement as applicable; address proof of the principal place of business (utility bill / rent agreement); cancelled cheque or bank certificate in the entity's name; Digital Signature Certificate (Class 3) for companies and LLPs, while proprietorships may use Aadhaar-OTP-based e-Sign. The DGFT portal (dgft.gov.in) requires a one-time user registration with mobile and email verification before the application form ANF-2A can be accessed.
Registration-cum-Membership Certificate (RCMC) is issued by an Export Promotion Council (EPC) or Commodity Board to its members under FTP 2023 paragraph 2.55. RCMC is the precondition for claiming benefits under the Foreign Trade Policy, including RoDTEP scrips (which replaced MEIS post-January 2021), Advance Authorization, EPCG, Duty-Free Import Authorization, and Status Holder certification. Without RCMC, an IEC-holder can still export but loses access to incentive schemes. RCMC is now issued centrally through the DGFT e-RCMC platform with a uniform 5-year validity.
Authorised Dealer (AD) Code is a 14-digit code provided by the exporter's AD Category-I bank, which the exporter then registers with each Customs port from which shipments will be made. AD Code registration is port-specific — registration at one port does not extend to another. Without AD Code at a specific port, the Customs ICES system will not accept a shipping bill. The AD Code linkage operates under RBI's Foreign Exchange Management (Export of Goods and Services) Regulations 2015 and ensures that export proceeds realised abroad are tracked back to the same bank account for FEMA compliance and eBRC generation.
The IEC-RCMC-AD-Code triangle is the foundational compliance trio for export operations. IEC (DGFT, identity, one-time) + RCMC (Export Promotion Council, benefits, 5-year validity) + AD Code (AD bank + Customs port, banking linkage, per-port) together unlock the full export ecosystem. Status Holder recognition (One Star to Five Star under FTP 2023 paragraph 1.27) is a fourth layer that sits above this triangle and confers procedural and substantive concessions on high-volume exporters. Each component serves a distinct functional purpose and they cannot substitute for one another.
What 100ft Road Koyambedu clients usually ask next: For 100ft Road Koyambedu engagements specifically — for 100ft Road Koyambedu businesses balancing growth ambitions with tight statutory compliance.
Registration cum Membership Certificate, issued by an Export Promotion Council or Commodity Board recognised by DGFT. Required for claiming benefits under Foreign Trade Policy schemes like duty drawback at higher rate, EPCG, Advance Authorization. Valid for 5 years from date of issue, renewable. Without a live RCMC most FTP benefits are blocked.
Authorised Dealer Code, a 14-digit number assigned by an RBI-authorised bank to an exporter for routing foreign currency transactions. Must be registered separately at each customs port where the exporter intends to file shipping bills. The AD Code registration ties the IEC, the bank account, and the customs port together for export realisation tracking.
Bank Realisation Certificate, the document issued by the AD Bank confirming that export proceeds have been received in foreign currency against a specific shipping bill within the RBI-stipulated period. BRC closure on the EDPMS portal is prerequisite for claiming RoDTEP, duty drawback at composite rate, and for income tax exemption claims under various export incentive schemes.
Export Data Processing and Monitoring System, the RBI portal that consolidates export data from customs ICEGATE and AD Bank for monitoring realisation of export proceeds within prescribed period. Each shipping bill flows into EDPMS and must be closed by the AD Bank against corresponding FIRC and inward remittance within 9 months for goods exports.
Import Data Processing and Monitoring System, the RBI counterpart to EDPMS that tracks import payments by Indian importers. Each Form A1 or A2 outward remittance for import payment is linked to a Bill of Entry on IDPMS. AD Bank must reconcile each outward remittance with documentary evidence of goods receipt within 6 months for advance and 3 months post shipment for normal imports.
Indian Customs Electronic Gateway, the customs department's portal for filing of shipping bills, bill of entry, and processing of duty drawback, RoDTEP, and other customs interactions. Digital handshake with DGFT verifies live IEC status, with EDPMS verifies AD Code, and with ICEGATE wallet credits RoDTEP scrips. Any mismatch blocks the shipping bill filing.
A status recognition granted by DGFT based on cumulative FOB export performance over preceding 3 to 4 years. Categories are One Star (USD 3 million), Two Star (USD 25 million), Three Star (USD 100 million), Four Star (USD 500 million), Five Star (USD 2 billion). Privileges include faster customs clearance, self-certification of origin, and access to certain schemes.
A scheme under Foreign Trade Policy allowing duty-free import of inputs that are physically incorporated in the export product. The export obligation is generally 18 months from issue of authorization with value addition norm typically 15 percent. Standard Input Output Norms or self-declared norms govern the input-output ratio. Breach of EO or input norm triggers customs duty plus interest recovery.
Export Promotion Capital Goods scheme allowing duty-free import of capital goods used for producing export goods. The export obligation is 6 times the duty saved, to be fulfilled in 6 years from issue of authorization. Block-wise EO fulfilment of 50 percent by year 4 and 100 percent by year 6. Default triggers customs duty plus 15 percent simple interest recovery.
Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products, the WTO-compliant scheme that replaced MEIS. Reimburses embedded central, state, and local duties and taxes not refunded under any other mechanism. Rate ranges 0.5 to 4.3 percent of FOB value depending on HS code. Claimed at the time of shipping bill filing through ICEGATE, credited as transferable scrip to ICEGATE wallet after BRC closure on EDPMS.
Merchandise Exports from India Scheme that ran from 2015 to 2020, replaced by RoDTEP from 1-January-2021. Pending MEIS scrips issued before discontinuation continue to be valid within their own 24-month validity and can be utilised for payment of basic customs duty or transferred. No fresh MEIS claims are entertained for exports made after the scheme closure date.
Special Economic Zone, a duty-free enclave deemed to be foreign territory for trade operations under SEZ Act 2005. Units inside SEZ enjoy 100 percent income tax exemption under Section 10AA in a phased manner, customs duty exemption on import of inputs and capital goods, and GST treatment of supplies to SEZ as zero-rated. Sales from DTA to SEZ are treated as exports for IEC purposes.
