Importer Exporter Code applications for Madhavaram Milk Colony 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 Madhavaram Milk Colony 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 Madhavaram Milk Colony 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.
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.
No. Only one IEC is allotted per PAN under the Foreign Trade Policy 2023. If a firm inadvertently holds a duplicate, the extra IEC must be surrendered through ANF 2A; DGFT may otherwise suspend the codes until the duplication is resolved.
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.

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.
Registration-cum-Membership Certificate (RCMC) is issued by an Export Promotion Council (EPC) or Commodity Board to its members under FTP 2023 paragraph 2.55. RCMC is the precondition for claiming benefits under the Foreign Trade Policy, including RoDTEP scrips (which replaced MEIS post-January 2021), Advance Authorization, EPCG, Duty-Free Import Authorization, and Status Holder certification. Without RCMC, an IEC-holder can still export but loses access to incentive schemes. RCMC is now issued centrally through the DGFT e-RCMC platform with a uniform 5-year validity.
Authorised Dealer (AD) Code is a 14-digit code provided by the exporter's AD Category-I bank, which the exporter then registers with each Customs port from which shipments will be made. AD Code registration is port-specific — registration at one port does not extend to another. Without AD Code at a specific port, the Customs ICES system will not accept a shipping bill. The AD Code linkage operates under RBI's Foreign Exchange Management (Export of Goods and Services) Regulations 2015 and ensures that export proceeds realised abroad are tracked back to the same bank account for FEMA compliance and eBRC generation.
The IEC-RCMC-AD-Code triangle is the foundational compliance trio for export operations. IEC (DGFT, identity, one-time) + RCMC (Export Promotion Council, benefits, 5-year validity) + AD Code (AD bank + Customs port, banking linkage, per-port) together unlock the full export ecosystem. Status Holder recognition (One Star to Five Star under FTP 2023 paragraph 1.27) is a fourth layer that sits above this triangle and confers procedural and substantive concessions on high-volume exporters. Each component serves a distinct functional purpose and they cannot substitute for one another.
Foreign Trade Policy 2023 was notified on 31-March-2023 and came into force on 01-April-2023, replacing FTP 2015-20. Unlike its predecessors, FTP 2023 is open-ended and dynamic — there is no fixed 5-year term, and amendments are made through DGFT public notices as needed. The policy is anchored on four pillars: Incentive to Remission, Export Promotion through Collaboration, Ease of Doing Business through process re-engineering, and emerging areas (e-commerce exports, SCOMET, districts as export hubs). The Handbook of Procedures 2023 operationalises FTP 2023.
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.
Under Section 16 of the IGST Act 2017, exports of goods or services are zero-rated supplies. Two routes are available to exporters: (a) export under bond/LUT without payment of IGST and claim refund of unutilised ITC under Section 54 read with Rule 89; or (b) export with payment of IGST and claim refund of IGST paid (auto-refund based on shipping bill matching). The LUT route is generally preferred for working-capital efficiency. The exporter's IEC is the cross-referencing identifier between GSTN and ICEGATE for refund processing.
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.

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.
