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.
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.

Reading this guide locally — Across Arcot Road Virugambakkam, in the major commercial corridor micro-market of Arcot Road Virugambakkam.
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.
IEC, once issued, has no expiry — but DGFT Notification 58/2015-20 dated 12-Feb-2021 introduced a mandatory annual confirmation/update window between April and June each year. Failure to confirm IEC details (even where there is no change) results in automatic deactivation; deactivated IECs are blocked at ICEGATE for shipping-bill filing and at AD banks for remittance processing. Modifications (change of address, directors, authorised signatory, bank account) are filed via the DGFT portal with applicable supporting documentation and Digital Signature Certificate of the authorised signatory.
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.
Address proof inadequacy is the second-largest cause of IEC application deficiency memos. Acceptable proofs are: latest electricity bill (not older than 2 months), telephone bill, water bill, property tax receipt, or registered rent agreement with NOC and the landlord's address proof. Mobile-phone bills and pre-paid electricity receipts are not accepted. For co-working addresses, a notarised NOC from the operator plus the operator's own utility bill is needed.
The bank account uploaded with the IEC application (cancelled cheque or bank certificate) must be in the exact name of the IEC applicant entity. For proprietorships, the account may be in the proprietor's individual name or in a trading name — both are acceptable provided documented. For companies, the account must be a corporate account. Inconsistency triggers a deficiency memo and delays issuance. Post-IEC, change of bank account is filed as a modification on the DGFT portal.
The April-June annual IEC update requirement (DGFT Notification 58/2015-20) is missed by a significant proportion of small exporters. Once deactivated, the IEC must be reactivated through a fresh modification application — Customs ICES blocks shipping-bill filing in the interim, and AD banks may decline outward remittance processing. Setting a recurring April-1 calendar reminder is the simplest preventive control. Even where no information has changed, the 'no change' confirmation must be made.
Section 11 of the FTDR Act 1992 empowers DGFT to impose a penalty of up to 5 times the value of goods involved or ₹10,000, whichever is higher, for contravention of the Act, Rules, or FTP. Section 13 enables confiscation of goods. Adjudication proceedings under Section 14 follow principles of natural justice with show-cause notice and personal hearing. Appeals under Section 15 lie to the Appellate Authority (Additional/Joint DGFT) and further to the Central Government under Section 15A.
Section 8 of the FTDR Act and FTP 2023 paragraph 2.20 empower DGFT to suspend or revoke IEC for: contravention of FTDR Act provisions; failure to discharge export obligation under FTP scheme authorizations; furnishing false information; pendency of show-cause proceedings under the Customs Act 1962. Suspended IECs are barred from filing shipping bills or claiming FTP benefits. Reinstatement requires representation and adjudicatory clearance.
Parallel to FTDR penalties, the Customs Act 1962 carries independent penalty provisions: Section 111 (confiscation of improperly imported goods), Section 113 (confiscation of goods attempted to be improperly exported), Section 114 (penalty up to 5 times the duty sought to be evaded or value of goods), Section 114A (mandatory penalty equivalent to duty), Section 114AA (penalty for false declaration). Customs and DGFT penalties can be cumulative, not alternative — exporters face exposure on both fronts simultaneously.
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.
