Importer Exporter Code applications for DLF Garden City Vanagaram 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 DLF Garden City Vanagaram 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 DLF Garden City Vanagaram 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 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.
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.
What DLF Garden City Vanagaram clients want to know before signing: On the ground in DLF Garden City Vanagaram, on the Vanagaram-Maduravoyal corridor that passes through DLF Garden City Vanagaram.

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.
The Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme replaced the Merchandise Export from India Scheme (MEIS) effective 01-January-2021 following the WTO panel ruling in India — Export Related Measures (WT/DS541) that found MEIS to be a prohibited export subsidy under the WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures. RoDTEP, by contrast, is structured as a duty-remission scheme — it refunds embedded taxes (state and central) not refunded through other mechanisms (GST, drawback, etc.) and is therefore WTO-compatible. Rates are notified per HS code in Appendix 4R of the Handbook of Procedures.
Advance Authorization under FTP 2023 Chapter 4 allows duty-free import of inputs used in the manufacture of export products, subject to a positive value-addition norm and export-obligation discharge within 18 months (extendable). EPCG (Export Promotion Capital Goods) under Chapter 5 allows zero-duty import of capital goods against an export obligation equivalent to 6 times the duty saved, to be discharged over 6 years. Both schemes require IEC + RCMC and are administered through ANF-4A and ANF-5A respectively. Norm fixation for non-SION items is handled by the Norms Committee.
Special Economic Zones operate under the SEZ Act 2005 and Rules 2006 with extensive customs, tax, and FEMA-related exemptions. SEZ units are deemed to be outside the customs territory of India for trade-policy purposes. The post-2020 DESH Bill (Development of Enterprise and Service Hubs Bill) has been under consideration to replace the SEZ Act 2005 with a more flexible framework — as of 2026, the SEZ Act 2005 continues in force. Export Oriented Units (EOU) under FTP 2023 Chapter 6 enjoy similar — though procedurally distinct — concessions outside dedicated zones.
The Customs Tariff Act 1975 codifies India's tariff schedule, anti-dumping duties, safeguard duties, and the first and second schedules covering imports and exports respectively. Most Indian exports attract nil export duty, but specific items (iron ore, certain steel products, raw hides) carry export duty. The Act, read with the Customs Act 1962, governs the assessment, declaration, and clearance of import and export consignments. IEC is the linking identifier between the FTDR-Act regime (DGFT) and the Customs Act regime (CBIC/ICEGATE).
Shipping bills are filed electronically on ICEGATE (Indian Customs EDI Gateway) using the exporter's IEC. The life cycle: filing of shipping bill (free, drawback, or DEPB shipping bill type as applicable) → goods registration at the port → examination (if selected by RMS — Risk Management System) → Let Export Order (LEO) → loading on vessel/aircraft → generation of EGM (Export General Manifest) by the carrier → confirmation of export realisation through eBRC. Each step is electronically linked to the exporter's IEC for end-to-end traceability.
Duty Drawback under Section 75 of the Customs Act 1962 is a refund of customs duty paid on inputs used in the manufacture of exported goods. All-Industry Rates (AIR) are notified annually by CBIC and are claimed on the shipping bill itself by selecting the appropriate drawback category. Brand Rate fixation under Rule 7 of the Drawback Rules 2017 is available where AIR is unavailable or inadequate for the specific export product. Drawback is claimed in addition to RoDTEP — both are non-rivalrous remission schemes.
Where realisation of export proceeds is delayed or partially unrealised, the AD bank or RBI (depending on amount) can grant extension of realisation period or permit write-off under specified circumstances (insolvency of buyer, force majeure, documented attempts to recover). Self-write-off limits (typically up to 5% of export proceeds annually) are available to Status Holder Exporters. Documentation of recovery efforts and buyer-default evidence is critical for write-off approval.
All export proceeds must be realised through an Authorised Dealer Category-I bank under the Foreign Exchange Management (Export of Goods and Services) Regulations 2015. The AD bank monitors realisation timelines (typically 9 months from date of export, extendable), issues Foreign Inward Remittance Certificates (FIRC), and generates electronic Bank Realisation Certificates (eBRC) on the DGFT eBRC platform. eBRC is the documentary proof of export realisation used for FTP scheme-benefit claims and GST refund verification.
Exporters can maintain Exchange Earners' Foreign Currency (EEFC) accounts with AD banks to hold a portion of their export earnings in foreign currency. Status Holder Exporters under FTP 2023 paragraph 1.27 can retain 100% of their EEFC balance — a key procedural concession. Non-Status-Holder exporters can retain up to a notified percentage. EEFC accounts protect exporters from FX-conversion costs and provide a natural hedge for future import payments.
What DLF Garden City Vanagaram clients usually ask next: On the ground in DLF Garden City Vanagaram, for DLF Garden City Vanagaram's premium business segment that values fixed-fee compliance with senior-practitioner involvement.
Cheque with name printed and crossed cancelled, uploaded during IEC application as proof of bank account particulars for foreign exchange routing.
DGFT-assigned branch identifier under primary IEC enabling exports from multiple locations of same legal entity without separate IEC issuance per branch.
Mandatory online confirmation of IEC particulars between April and June each year under Notification 58/2015-20, failing which IEC stands automatically deactivated.
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.
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.
