Quick Answer

What is RoSCTL in CMDA Quarters Koyambedu, Chennai?

Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) is a parallel remission scheme exclusively for apparel and made-ups under Chapters 61, 62 and 63 of the ITC(HS). Notified by the Ministry of Textiles, RoSCTL rates are higher than RoDTEP for these chapters and are mutually exclusive — an exporter elects either scheme, not both, on each shipping bill.

People Also Ask — IEC in CMDA Quarters Koyambedu
Who needs an IEC in India?
Every person undertaking import into or export from India must hold an IEC under Section 7 of the FT(D&R) Act 1992 and Para 2.05 of FTP 2023. Service exporters technically need IEC only to claim FTP benefits, but practically every AD bank and payment aggregator insists on a live IEC for inward foreign-currency receipts. Government departments, personal-use imports, gifts up to USD 5,000 and notified charitable imports are exempt under Para 2.07.
How long does IEC issuance take on the DGFT portal?
Where PAN, Aadhaar and bank details validate cleanly, IEC is issued instantly — typically within minutes of payment of the ₹500 fee. If any field fails validation the application is routed for officer review and disposed within 1-2 working days. The certificate is downloadable from the dgft.gov.in dashboard and emailed to the registered address.
Is IEC the same as PAN now?
Yes. Since DGFT Public Notice 27/2015-20 dated 8-Aug-2018 the IEC has been merged with PAN — the 10-character alphanumeric PAN of the entity is the IEC. One PAN equals one IEC across India and the same number is used by all branches of the entity. The IEC must still be separately activated on dgft.gov.in.
What is the annual update requirement for IEC?
Para 2.05(e) of FTP 2023 mandates electronic update of IEC particulars every year between 1-April and 30-June, even if no details have changed. There is no fee. Failure to update results in automatic deactivation of IEC on 1-July, blocking all customs clearances on ICEGATE until reactivation through the Update IEC option on dgft.gov.in.
Is RCMC mandatory in addition to IEC?
For mere import or export, no — IEC alone is sufficient. For claim of any benefit under FTP 2023 — RoDTEP, RoSCTL, EPCG, Advance Authorisation, status holder recognition or duty exemption — Para 2.59 of FTP 2023 makes RCMC from a designated EPC or commodity board mandatory. FIEO issues a general RCMC for multi-product exporters; sector-specific councils (APEDA, MPEDA, EEPC, AEPC, etc.) take precedence.
What is the penalty for importing or exporting without IEC?
Section 11(2) of the Customs Act 1962 read with Section 11(2A) attracts confiscation of goods and a penalty equal to the value of the goods. Section 11 of the FT(D&R) Act 1992 prescribes monetary penalty up to five times the value of the goods or ₹1,000 whichever is higher, plus denial of FTP incentives and possible appearance on the DGFT denied entity list.
What is an AD Code and why do I need it with my IEC?

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.

How do I modify details on an existing IEC?

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.

Can an IEC be surrendered if the business closes?

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.

Do proprietors and individuals need an IEC to export?

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.

Is IEC registration mandatory for exporting from India?

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.

What is the IEC and how is it structured now?

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.

What is IEC and its statutory basis

PAN-based IEC and one-IEC-per-PAN rule

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.

Validity, modification and deactivation

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.

Section 7 of FTDR Act 1992

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.

Free Trade Agreements and Rules of Origin

Certificate of Origin under FTAs

Certificate of Origin (CoO) under FTAs is the documentary basis for claiming preferential tariff in the partner country. CoOs are issued by designated agencies (Export Inspection Council, DGFT regional offices, EEPC India, FIEO, chambers of commerce, depending on the FTA). DGFT's e-CoO platform (coo.dgft.gov.in) issues digitally signed certificates accepted by FTA-partner customs authorities. Each FTA has specific Product Specific Rules (PSR) — Regional Value Content thresholds, Change in Tariff Heading, or specific manufacturing-process requirements.

CAROTAR Rules 2020 — origin verification

The Customs (Administration of Rules of Origin under Trade Agreements) Rules 2020 (CAROTAR) operationalise origin verification for imports into India under FTA preferential rates. Importers must possess sufficient information to demonstrate that the goods qualify under the FTA Rules of Origin — a similar level of rigour is increasingly applied by FTA-partner countries to Indian exports. Exporters should maintain a structured origin file per export consignment including bill of materials, supplier declarations, manufacturing-process flowcharts, and RVC computations.

GSP suspension and aftermath

The Generalised System of Preferences (GSP), under which the United States extended preferential tariff treatment to specified Indian exports, was suspended by the US with effect from 05-June-2019. Subsequent attempts at reinstatement have not been successful as of 2026. Indian exporters who previously relied on US-GSP have rerouted to: bilateral FTA-partner markets (UAE, Australia post-CEPA/ECTA); EU GSP (which India still accesses); and aggressive market diversification. The GSP experience underscores the volatility of unilateral preference schemes and the strategic value of binding bilateral FTAs.

WTO framework and India's commitments

WTO Agreement on Trade Facilitation 2017

The WTO Agreement on Trade Facilitation (TFA) entered into force on 22-February-2017 after the requisite ratification threshold was met. India ratified TFA on 22-April-2016. The TFA mandates simplification of customs procedures, advance rulings, electronic payments, transparency in fees and formalities, and Single Window systems. India's compliance roadmap is implemented through the National Committee on Trade Facilitation (NCTF) and the National Trade Facilitation Action Plan. The Indian Single Window for trade (SWIFT) and the e-Sanchit document-upload platform are key TFA-compliance artefacts.

WTO ITA-II and electronics tariffs

The Information Technology Agreement (ITA-I, 1996) and the expansion ITA-II (2015) are WTO plurilateral agreements eliminating tariffs on a specified list of IT and electronics products. India is a party to ITA-I but has not joined ITA-II — a position driven by domestic electronics-manufacturing policy objectives. The ITA-II non-participation means Indian exporters of certain electronics enjoy zero-duty access to ITA-II member markets (the agreement is MFN-applied) while India retains tariff space on inbound electronics for domestic-industry protection. This asymmetry is a strategic feature of India's WTO posture.

Subsidies and Countervailing Measures Agreement

The WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM Agreement) prohibits export-contingent subsidies. The India-MEIS panel ruling (WT/DS541, 2019) found MEIS to be a prohibited subsidy, prompting India's transition to RoDTEP — a duty-remission scheme structured to be WTO-compatible. India also remains constrained on direct export subsidies but retains significant policy space on Aggregate Measurement of Support (AMS) for agriculture, public stockholding programmes, and SDGs-linked support — all subjects of continuing WTO negotiation.

SCOMET licensing and dual-use exports

Penalties for SCOMET violation

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.

SCOMET list architecture

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 application and inter-ministerial review

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).

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

SWIFT

Single Window Interface for Facilitating Trade integrating customs and PGAs through ICEGATE enabling single integrated declaration for import clearance.

TIN

Tax Information Network earlier identifier replaced by GSTIN; IEC application requires legacy TIN where applicable for entity verification cross-check.

GSTIN

Goods and Services Tax Identification Number fifteen-digit PAN-based identifier mandatorily quoted on shipping bill for GST refund and LUT linkage.

Cancelled Cheque

Cheque with name printed and crossed cancelled, uploaded during IEC application as proof of bank account particulars for foreign exchange routing.

Branch Code

DGFT-assigned branch identifier under primary IEC enabling exports from multiple locations of same legal entity without separate IEC issuance per branch.

Annual Updation

Mandatory online confirmation of IEC particulars between April and June each year under Notification 58/2015-20, failing which IEC stands automatically deactivated.

IEC

Importer Exporter Code, a 10-digit unique number issued by DGFT to any person or business intending to engage in import or export of goods or services. Mandatory for any cross-border transaction in foreign currency. Once granted it remains valid for the lifetime of the entity but must be updated annually between April and June, failing which the IEC gets deactivated.

DGFT

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.

RCMC

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.

AD Code

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.

BRC

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.

EDPMS

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.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in CMDA Quarters Koyambedu

How the local trade mix shapes this — Across CMDA Quarters Koyambedu, the cluster of residential, government, retail businesses that defines CMDA Quarters Koyambedu's commercial fabric.

Food Processing and Beverages
Common issue: Beverage and alcohol exporters face additional regulatory layers — excise duty refund mechanisms under State excise rules and the Customs Tariff Act 1975 second schedule. IEC alone is insufficient; alcoholic beverage exports require State Excise NOC and category-specific export permit.
How we handle it: Coordinate with State Excise Commissioner for export permit (typically valid per consignment); apply for refund of State excise duty paid; maintain Form ARE-1 documentation under the erstwhile Central Excise regime to the extent legacy claims subsist. Non-alcoholic beverage exporters comply with FSSAI and APEDA only.
Plastics and Packaging Exports
Common issue: Plastics exporters face Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations under the Plastic Waste Management Rules 2016 (as amended 2022/2024) and parallel obligations in destination countries (EU Single-Use Plastics Directive). IEC and PLEXCONCIL RCMC alone do not discharge EPR.
How we handle it: Register on the CPCB EPR portal; maintain plastic-waste credit accounting; for EU exports, comply with EU SUPD by ensuring product is not on the restricted list; pursue biodegradable/compostable certification (CIPET, BIS standards) for higher-value market access. WTO Agreement on Trade Facilitation 2017 obligations are leveraged for faster Customs clearance.
Plastics and Packaging Exports
Common issue: Plastics MSMEs availing Advance Authorization to import polymer feedstock often fail the export-obligation discharge owing to feedstock-price volatility and substitution of imported with domestic raw material. EOFC (Export Obligation Fulfilment Certificate) denial then triggers customs-duty plus interest recovery.
How we handle it: Maintain real-time consumption register linking imported feedstock to specific export shipping bills; where domestic substitution occurs, regularise via para 4.49 of FTP 2023 (regularisation provisions); engage Norms Committee for ad-hoc norm fixation if SION is unrealistic.
Renewable Energy Equipment Exports
Common issue: Solar module and wind-component exporters under the PLI scheme for High Efficiency Solar PV Modules need to navigate both DGFT (IEC + RCMC from EEPC/PLEXCONCIL/MNRE) and the Customs Tariff Act 1975 second-schedule export-duty positions. Some solar inputs attract export duty that exporters overlook.
How we handle it: Pre-check Customs Tariff second schedule for export duty applicability; apply for PLI claims via MNRE while concurrently filing RoDTEP under DGFT; India's bilateral solar cooperation under ISA (International Solar Alliance) and the India-EU Clean Energy and Climate Partnership opens preferential market access.
Renewable Energy Equipment Exports
Common issue: Anti-dumping duty exposure in destination markets (US Section 201 tariffs on solar cells, EU anti-dumping investigations) impacts Indian renewable-equipment exporters notwithstanding valid IEC and FTP scheme benefits. The Generalised System of Preferences benefit (US-GSP) was suspended for India in June 2019 and remains so.
How we handle it: Monitor anti-dumping investigations through DGTR and destination-country trade-remedy authorities; maintain non-injurious-price documentation; explore alternative markets where India has FTAs (UAE, Australia, EFTA); pursue WTO dispute-settlement remedy through Ministry of Commerce where unfair trade remedies are imposed.
Case Studies

Anonymised engagements we have handled

Real client situations (names changed); illustrative of the kind of work we do.

Customs BrokerLogistics

Customs Broker Licence Suspension Reversal

Issue: Customs broker faced licence suspension under CBLR 2018 Regulation 17 for alleged failure of due diligence in IEC verification of a client whose shipments turned out to be over-invoiced. Licence suspension would shutter the entire business.
Approach: Demonstrated complete KYC documentation collected including video KYC, address verification, and DGFT IEC printout. Cited that under CBLR 2018 broker is not the judge of client honesty if standard due diligence is met. Filed appeal to Chief Commissioner with CBLR precedents.
Outcome: Licence suspension lifted within 8 weeks; only minor warning recorded. Business continuity maintained; INR 4 crore annual revenue stream preserved.
GST LUTSoftware Products

Software Product Company GST LUT for Export

Issue: Software product company exporting SaaS subscriptions to global customers had LUT bond rejected by GST officer on ground that IEC was not declared. Without LUT, 18% IGST became payable on exports causing working capital strain of INR 90 lakh quarterly.
Approach: Established that for service exports, IEC is not mandatory under CBIC Notification 9/2015-2020 below USD threshold. Cited Circular 88/07/2019-GST on LUT applicability. Filed fresh LUT with IEC obtained voluntarily to remove the objection.
Outcome: LUT accepted within 2 weeks; INR 90 lakh quarterly IGST blockage eliminated. Voluntary IEC also unlocked SEIS incentive eligibility worth estimated INR 35 lakh annually.
Service ExportBuying Agent

Garment Buying House Service Export Documentation

Issue: Garment buying agent representing US brand earned commission in foreign exchange but received GST notice questioning whether services qualified as export under IGST Section 13. Demand of INR 1.4 crore IGST proposed for 3 years.
Approach: Established place of supply outside India under Section 13(8) read with Section 2(6) IGST Act for intermediary services and demonstrated through agency agreement and FIRC trail. Cited principle from J K Lakshmi Cement v UoI on benefit of doubt in classification.
Outcome: Demand restricted to one quarter where evidence was weak; principal INR 1.32 crore demand dropped. Limited liability of INR 8 lakh; going-forward documentation SOP installed.
RoDTEP RateEngineering Exports

Engineering Goods Exporter RoDTEP Rate Revision

Issue: Engineering goods exporter's RoDTEP rate was revised downward mid-year from 1.4% to 0.85% causing claim of INR 24 lakh on past shipments to be partially denied. Department sought recovery of INR 10 lakh allegedly over-claimed.
Approach: Filed Section 13 appeal arguing that shipping bill date determined the rate, not utilisation date. Cited Mangalore Refinery v UoI and DGFT Public Notice clarifying transition. Produced shipping bill dates predating the revision.
Outcome: Recovery of INR 10 lakh dropped; original claim of INR 24 lakh confirmed. Principle of shipping-bill-date locked rate confirmed by appellate order.

Common Questions

IEC FAQ — CMDA Quarters Koyambedu

Common questions from CMDA Quarters Koyambedu clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) is a parallel remission scheme exclusively for apparel and made-ups under Chapters 61, 62 and 63 of the ITC(HS). Notified by the Ministry of Textiles, RoSCTL rates are higher than RoDTEP for these chapters and are mutually exclusive — an exporter elects either scheme, not both, on each shipping bill.
Section 8 of the FT(D&R) Act 1992 empowers the Director General of Foreign Trade to suspend or cancel an IEC for contravention of the Act, FTP, any condition of an Authorisation, misdeclaration in shipping bills, export of canalised or prohibited goods, quota violation or appearance on the DGFT denied entity list. Suspension is preceded by a show-cause notice and an opportunity of hearing.
Call or WhatsApp 9566-068-468 with a one-line description of your requirement. We confirm exactly which documents your CMDA Quarters Koyambedu case needs, share a fixed quote upfront, and start once you approve. The first discussion is free.
Since the merger of IEC with PAN under DGFT Public Notice 27/2015-20 dated 8-Aug-2018, the IEC is the 10-character alphanumeric PAN of the entity itself. There is no longer a separate numerical IEC. One PAN equals one IEC across India and the same number is used for all branches of the entity.
Yes. Section 15 of the FT(D&R) Act provides an appeal to the Appellate Authority (typically the Joint or Additional DGFT) within 45 days of the order, and a further revision to the Central Government under Section 16 within 45 days of the appellate order. Section 9A allows correction of clerical or arithmetical mistakes apparent from the record.
CMDA Quarters Koyambedu (PIN 600107) falls under the Anna Nagar Division, Chennai North commissionerate. Getting the jurisdiction right matters because registrations, filings and notices are routed through the correct office. We confirm and handle the right jurisdiction for every CMDA Quarters Koyambedu engagement.
Section 7 of the FT(D&R) Act 1992 read with Para 2.05 of the Foreign Trade Policy 2023 (effective 1-Apr-2023) mandates IEC for every person undertaking import or export of goods. Service exporters technically need IEC only when they wish to claim benefits under FTP — but virtually every AD bank, payment aggregator and customs broker insists on a live IEC for any inward foreign-currency receipt or outward remittance.
IEC is a 10-character alphanumeric business identification number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Department of Commerce, under Section 7 of the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act 1992. Since 1-July-2017 the IEC is the same as the entity's PAN, but it must be separately activated on the DGFT portal at dgft.gov.in. Without an active IEC no person can import into or export from India.
Yes. Beyond IEC Registration, we cover GST, income tax, TDS, company and LLP registrations, digital signatures, audits and finance documentation — so CMDA Quarters Koyambedu clients keep all their compliance under one roof. Ask us about anything on 9566-068-468.
Export Data Processing and Monitoring System (EDPMS) is the RBI portal that aggregates shipping bill data from Customs and matches it with realisation reported by AD banks. Each shipping bill remains open until the AD bank uploads the inward remittance and issues e-BRC; unrealised entries beyond 9 months are flagged and may attract caution-listing under FEMA Section 8 with consequent denial of further exports.
Section 65 of the Customs Act 1962 read with the Manufacture and Other Operations in Warehouse Regulations 2019 (MOOWR) permits manufacturing within a customs-bonded warehouse. Imported inputs and capital goods are warehoused without payment of customs duty; duty is paid only on the portion cleared into the domestic market. Goods exported out of bond suffer no duty at all. IEC is mandatory.
We keep payment simple for CMDA Quarters Koyambedu clients — pay digitally by UPI or bank transfer against a proper invoice. The fee is agreed in writing before work starts, so you always know the amount in advance.
Bank Realisation Certificate (BRC) is issued by the AD bank confirming that export proceeds have been received in convertible foreign exchange. Section 8 of FEMA 1999 read with the RBI Master Direction on Export of Goods and Services 2015-16 requires realisation within 9 months of the date of export. BRC is the documentary proof and is mandatory for closure of shipping bills on EDPMS, claim of RoDTEP, drawback and discharge of EPCG / Advance Authorisation export obligations.
Yes. Para 2.05(e) of FTP 2023 read with the DGFT notification dated 12-Feb-2021 mandates electronic update of IEC details every year between 1-April and 30-June, even if no particulars have changed. There is no fee for the update. Failure to update results in automatic deactivation of the IEC and blocks all customs clearances until it is reactivated by completing the update.
On 1-July of any year an IEC that has not been updated since the previous April is automatically marked Inactive on the DGFT portal. An inactive IEC cannot file shipping bills or bills of entry — Customs ICEGATE rejects all transmissions. Reactivation is by simply logging into the DGFT portal, clicking Update IEC, confirming details and submitting Aadhaar OTP. There is no penalty fee for late update.
Sector-specific councils take precedence — APEDA for processed agricultural and food products, MPEDA for marine products, EEPC for engineering goods, AEPC for apparel, CHEMEXCIL for chemicals, PHARMEXCIL for pharmaceuticals, GJEPC for gems and jewellery, CAPEXIL for chemicals/allied. For multi-product exporters or where no specific council exists, the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) issues a general RCMC under Para 2.61 of HBP 2023.
