Importer Exporter Code applications for Lakshmi Nagar Maduravoyal 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 Lakshmi Nagar Maduravoyal 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 Lakshmi Nagar Maduravoyal 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. 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.
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.

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.
Section 14 of the Customs Act 1962, read with the Customs Valuation (Determination of Value of Imported Goods) Rules 2007, governs the valuation of imports. The primary method is transaction value (the price actually paid or payable) subject to additions for royalties, commissions, freight, and insurance. Related-party transactions trigger Special Valuation Branch (SVB) investigation — exporters and importers belonging to multinational group structures must be prepared for SVB review of inter-company pricing.
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.
Project Exports — turnkey projects, civil construction contracts, and consultancy services exports — are governed by the RBI Memorandum of Instructions on Project Exports (PEM) read with FEMA. Project Export Committees at AD banks and (for large projects) the Working Group of RBI/EXIM Bank/ECGC clear proposals. The IEC + RCMC requirements apply, plus project-specific RBI approval. ECGC cover for political and commercial risk and EXIM Bank financing are critical accompaniments. Extended realisation periods (up to several years) reflect project economics.
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.
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.
The most common rejection reason for IEC applications is mismatch between the entity name as recorded against the PAN in the Income Tax database and the name entered in ANF-2A. This typically arises from minor variations (use of 'M/s', abbreviations, partner-name ordering in partnership firms). Pre-application reconciliation through the Income Tax PAN-verification utility avoids 80% of such rejections. For partnerships and LLPs, ensure the registered name with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs / Registrar of Firms matches the PAN-registered name.
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.
