A dedicated DGFT consultant in Ambattur SBI Junction 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 Ambattur SBI Junction 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.
Yes, if they import or export goods. A proprietor applies using their personal PAN, which becomes the firm's IEC. Individuals exporting only personal-use items, or covered by a specific notified exemption, need not obtain an IEC.
Yes. Under Section 7 of the FTDR Act 1992 and the Foreign Trade Policy 2023, no person may import into or export out of India without a valid Importer-Exporter Code, except for a few notified exemptions such as personal-use goods.
The IEC is a 10-digit code issued by the DGFT. Since 2021 it is the same as the firm's PAN, so one PAN maps to one IEC. It is a permanent registration identifying the firm for all cross-border trade and customs clearance.
The government fee for a fresh IEC on the DGFT portal is ₹500, and annual updation is free. Professional fees for document preparation, DSC or Aadhaar authentication and AD Code registration are separate and depend on the scope of assistance.
You need the firm's PAN, proof of establishment or incorporation, address proof of the business premises, a cancelled cheque or bank certificate for the current account, and the applicant's Aadhaar for e-Sign or a Class 3 DSC for authentication.
With Aadhaar e-Sign and complete documents, an IEC is usually issued within one to two working days of a clean DGFT application. Delays arise from PAN-name mismatches, unverified bank details, or an inactive mobile or email on the profile.

Reading this guide locally — Across Ambattur SBI Junction, in the commercial junction with banking and retail micro-market of Ambattur SBI Junction.
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.
Violation of SCOMET provisions attracts severe penalties under the FTDR Act 1992 (Sections 11 and 13 — penalty up to 5 times the value of goods), Customs Act 1962 (Section 113 — confiscation of goods, Section 114 — penalty), and the Weapons of Mass Destruction and their Delivery Systems (Prohibition of Unlawful Activities) Act 2005. Reputational damage from SCOMET violation includes blacklisting by international counterparts and potential denial of US export-control licences to Indian counterparties — making compliance a strategic, not merely tactical, concern.
Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment and Technologies (SCOMET) is India's national export-control regime for dual-use items, governed by Appendix 3 to Schedule 2 of ITC-HS and aligned with India's commitments under the Wassenaar Arrangement, Australia Group, Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), and the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG). The SCOMET list has 9 categories (0 to 8) covering nuclear materials, chemicals and biological materials, materials processing, electronics, computers, telecommunications, information security, sensors and lasers, navigation, marine and aerospace. SCOMET licensing is administered by DGFT in consultation with the Ministry of External Affairs and other security-cleared agencies.
SCOMET export applications are filed on the DGFT portal and routed through an inter-ministerial Working Group (Department of Atomic Energy, Defence, External Affairs, Space) for clearance. Typical processing time is 4-6 weeks, longer for sensitive categories. The applicant exporter must provide end-use certificate from the importer, technical specifications, and intended end-use. Catch-all controls under SCOMET regulations apply even to non-listed items where end-use is suspect (potential WMD application).
Post-GST, the customs duty structure on imports comprises: Basic Customs Duty (BCD) under the Customs Tariff Act 1975 first schedule; Social Welfare Surcharge at 10% of BCD; IGST under Section 3(7) of the Customs Tariff Act (equivalent to GST on inter-State supply); GST Compensation Cess where applicable; Anti-dumping duty / safeguard duty where notified. BCD and Social Welfare Surcharge are pure customs duties, while IGST and Compensation Cess are creditable as ITC by the registered importer.
ITC-HS Schedule 1 categorises imports as Free (most items), Restricted (require specific authorization), or Prohibited (banned). Restricted imports require DGFT-issued specific authorization (e.g., second-hand machinery beyond specified age, certain wildlife products subject to CITES). Prohibited imports include narcotic drugs under the NDPS Act 1985, certain wildlife under the Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972, and specified hazardous wastes under the Basel Convention. IEC holders must classify imports correctly to avoid Section 111-114 confiscation and penalty exposure.
Imports under IEC are declared through Bill of Entry filed on ICEGATE under Sections 46 and 47 of the Customs Act 1962. Three types: Home Consumption Bill of Entry (for direct release), Warehousing Bill of Entry (deferred clearance to a customs-bonded warehouse), and Ex-Bond Bill of Entry (subsequent release from warehouse). Self-assessment of duty under Section 17 is the norm, with Risk Management System (RMS) selecting consignments for examination. Faceless assessment and the Turant Customs initiative have reduced clearance times substantially since 2020.
Service exports under FTP 2023 are dealt with in Chapter 7 with a specific focus on identifying eligible services and structuring incentive mechanisms. The earlier Service Exports from India Scheme (SEIS) was discontinued from 01-April-2022. Service exporters now access procedural benefits (Status Holder recognition, AEO eligibility) but not direct cash-equivalent incentives. The RBI purpose code structure (P0801 to P0809 and beyond) classifies service exports for FEMA reporting — software services, business consulting, financial services, R&D, etc.
Software exports — both packaged software and on-site/off-site services — are subject to special documentation through the SOFTEX form filed with the AD bank and certified by STPI (Software Technology Parks of India). The SOFTEX framework operates under FEMA Notification 23(R)/2015 and is the principal mechanism for monitoring software-export realisation. IEC + STPI registration + SOFTEX filing per invoice is the operational stack for software exporters claiming export-realisation status under FEMA.
FTP 2023 has elevated e-commerce exports as a dedicated focus area. Exports through courier and postal mode under simplified shipping-bill procedures (Courier Imports and Exports (Electronic Declaration and Processing) Regulations 2010) allow small consignment exports without the full ICEGATE shipping-bill apparatus. Value caps and category restrictions apply. The e-commerce export window has expanded to USD 10,000 per consignment under the simplified regime, supporting D2C exporters and small-batch sellers on Amazon, eBay, and similar global platforms.
What Ambattur SBI Junction clients usually ask next: Where Ambattur SBI Junction differs: for Ambattur SBI Junction businesses balancing growth ambitions with tight statutory compliance.
Directorate General of Foreign Trade, the authority under Ministry of Commerce and Industry that administers India's Foreign Trade Policy, issues IEC, RCMC equivalents, EPCG, Advance Authorization, and RoDTEP scrips. Operates the iec.gov.in portal where most filings now happen with Aadhaar e-Sign or DSC.
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.
