Quick Answer

What is AD Code registration in VGN Notting Hill Nolambur, Chennai?

Authorised Dealer (AD) Code is the 14-digit code of the exporter's bank branch authorised by RBI to deal in foreign exchange. Under CBIC instructions and the Customs EDI procedure, the AD Code must be one-time registered at every Customs port from where the exporter intends to ship. Without AD Code mapping at a port, no shipping bill can be filed and no IGST refund can be auto-disbursed at that port.

People Also Ask — IEC in VGN Notting Hill Nolambur
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.
Do I need to renew or update my IEC every year?

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.

Is IEC required if I already have GST registration?

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.

Can one PAN have more than one 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.

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.

What is IEC and its statutory basis

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.

Cases where IEC is not mandatory

DGFT Notification 27/2015-20 dated 08-Aug-2018 and the corresponding FTP 2023 provisions clarify that IEC is not required for: (a) import or export of goods for personal use not connected with trade, manufacture, or agriculture; (b) import or export by Central or State Government departments; (c) import or export by specified charitable institutions; (d) services exports unless the exporter intends to claim FTP benefits. Despite these exemptions, AD Category-I banks under FEMA regulations frequently require IEC for processing inward remittances against export proceeds — leading services exporters to obtain IEC voluntarily. The practical consequence is that IEC is functionally near-universal for cross-border commerce, even where strict FTDR-Act mandate is absent.

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.

IEC vs RCMC vs AD Code distinction

Comparative compliance triangle

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.

IEC as the identity number

IEC is the foundational identity number for any cross-border trade transaction. It is issued under the FTDR Act 1992 by DGFT and is mandatory for filing a Customs shipping bill or bill of entry. IEC alone, however, does not entitle the holder to FTP scheme benefits such as RoDTEP, Advance Authorization, EPCG, or Status Holder recognition. It is the prerequisite for further registrations rather than a substantive benefit-conferring document.

RCMC as the FTP-benefit gateway

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.

Foreign Trade Policy 2023 framework

Advance Authorization and EPCG schemes

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.

SEZ and EOU under SEZ Act 2005

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.

Continuity from FTP 2015-20 to FTP 2023

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.

Customs framework and the export transaction

ICEGATE filing and Shipping Bill life cycle

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

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.

GST refund on zero-rated supply

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.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

AD-LEO

Authorised Dealer at the port issuing Let Export Order on the shipping bill. AD refers to the AD Bank authorised to deal in foreign exchange under FEMA. LEO is the customs officer's order permitting the goods to leave India. Both events are date-stamped on the shipping bill and form the start of various RBI and DGFT clocks for realisation and incentive claims.

FIRC

Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate, the document issued by an AD Bank certifying that a specific amount in foreign currency has been received by the resident in India through banking channels. Required to support BRC closure on EDPMS, to substantiate export realisation for income tax, GST refund of IGST paid on exports, and for RoDTEP scrip release.

Form A1 and A2

Form A1 is used by AD Banks for processing outward remittance for import of goods. Form A2 is used for outward remittance for purposes other than import of goods like services, software, royalty, dividend. Both forms feed into IDPMS and are subject to FEMA reporting. Misuse of A1 for non-goods payments or delay beyond stipulated period triggers FEMA contravention.

GR Form

Guaranteed Remittance Form, historically used for declaration of export of goods by sea, air, or post and undertaking to realise full export value within RBI-stipulated period. Replaced largely by the electronic shipping bill that incorporates the GR declaration automatically for EDI ports. Physical GR Form continues for manual ports and certain export categories where EDI is unavailable.

IEC

Ten-digit Permanent Account Number aligned identification issued by Directorate General of Foreign Trade authorising the holder to undertake import and export.

DGFT

Statutory body under Ministry of Commerce administering Foreign Trade Policy, issuing IEC, RCMC linkage, authorisations, and incentive scrips electronically.

FTP

Foreign Trade Policy notified under Section 5 of FT(D&R) Act covering five-year strategic directions on imports, exports, schemes, and procedural framework.

HBP

Handbook of Procedures supplements Foreign Trade Policy with operational details on form filing, documentary requirements, and authorisation issuance steps.

RCMC

Registration-cum-Membership Certificate issued by Export Promotion Council certifying exporter's main line of business for availing Foreign Trade Policy benefits.

EPC

Export Promotion Council formed under Ministry of Commerce to facilitate exports in designated commodity verticals and issue RCMC to member exporters.

FIEO

Federation of Indian Export Organisations functioning as apex body for multi-product exporters, issuing RCMC where no specific commodity council exists.

Aadhaar e-sign

OTP-based electronic signature service under Information Technology Act enabling instant authentication of IEC application without physical digital signature token.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in VGN Notting Hill Nolambur

How the local trade mix shapes this — In VGN Notting Hill Nolambur, the cluster of residential, retail, real estate businesses that defines VGN Notting Hill Nolambur's commercial fabric.

Engineering Goods and Auto Components
Common issue: Auto-component exporters with imported tooling and dies often apply for IEC but fail to align it with the Authorised Dealer (AD) Code registration at each Customs port from which they intend to ship. AD Code is port-specific under RBI's Foreign Exchange Management (Export of Goods and Services) Regulations 2015, and shipping bills cannot be filed without it.
How we handle it: After IEC issuance, register the AD Code with each Customs port (Chennai Sea, Chennai Air, Krishnapatnam, etc.) through the AD bank using a port-specific letter. EEPC India RCMC should be obtained in parallel for engineering-goods FTP benefit access.
Engineering Goods and Auto Components
Common issue: Exporters under EPCG (Export Promotion Capital Goods) Scheme of FTP 2023 Chapter 5 import capital goods at zero customs duty subject to export obligation of 6 times duty saved over 6 years. Several engineering MSMEs procure EPCG authorisation without nominating the right IEC-linked branch or fail to record imports against the authorisation in the DGFT EPCG monitoring portal.
How we handle it: Ensure the IEC on the EPCG authorisation matches the actual importer-of-record. Maintain an export-obligation register; submit installation certificate within 6 months of import; file annual export obligation discharge documents to avoid duty-plus-interest demand under Section 28AA of the Customs Act 1962.
IT and Software Services Exports
Common issue: Software exporters often question whether IEC is required at all, since the FTDR Act and the IEC framework historically focused on goods. DGFT Notification 27/2015-20 dated 08-Aug-2018 clarified that IEC is not mandatory for services exports unless the exporter wishes to claim FTP benefits (such as SEIS — now discontinued — or specific scheme benefits). However, AD banks and RBI's FEMA-compliant reporting via FIRC frequently require IEC for outward documentation.
How we handle it: Obtain IEC voluntarily even where not statutorily compulsory under FTDR. It facilitates SOFTEX filing through STPI, FIRC reconciliation, and AD bank inward remittance documentation. The DGFT issues IEC within 1-2 working days; cost is nominal (government fee ₹500).
IT and Software Services Exports
Common issue: IT services firms supplying offshore deliverables sometimes route receipts through PayPal or Wise without proper FIRC trail. While IEC issuance is straightforward, the absence of FIRC linkage to specific invoices creates a gap when GST refund under Rule 89 (zero-rated supply) is later claimed. The bank-realisation certificate (BRC) generated on DGFT eBRC system also fails to populate.
How we handle it: Use AD Category-I banker for export receipts even if PayPal is intermediate; ensure inward remittance is converted to INR through the AD bank with proper purpose code (P0802 for software services); track eBRC generation on the DGFT portal to discharge the export-obligation reporting requirement.
Pharmaceuticals and Bulk Drug Exports
Common issue: Pharma exporters operate under dual regulatory oversight — DGFT for IEC/FTP scheme benefits and CDSCO/State Drug Controller for product-level export NOCs. Several mid-tier formulators apply for IEC but treat the Pharmexcil RCMC and the WHO-GMP/written confirmation requirements as separate processes, leading to shipment hold-ups at Customs.
How we handle it: Apply for IEC, Pharmexcil RCMC, and the relevant CDSCO Form 28 / Form 27 export licences in parallel. Maintain a regulatory-document master per product (COPP, written confirmation, free-sale certificate) to satisfy importing-country authority requirements and avoid container demurrage.
Case Studies

Anonymised engagements we have handled

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

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.
MEIS TransitionCoffee and Plantation

Coffee Exporter MEIS Transition Scrip Dispute

Issue: Coffee exporter had MEIS scrips of INR 56 lakh pending issuance at the time of MEIS scheme withdrawal effective 01-Jan-2021. DGFT proposed lapse of unclaimed benefits citing scheme cessation.
Approach: Established shipping bills predated scheme cessation; entitlement crystallised on shipping bill date. Cited Bharat Heavy Electricals v UoI on vested rights under FTP. Filed grievance under DGFT redressal mechanism and Policy Relaxation Committee application.
Outcome: DGFT issued MEIS scrips for INR 56 lakh after 9-month delay; principle of vested right confirmed. Subsequent peer exporters in similar position also benefited from precedent.
Re-exportAuto Spares

Auto Spares Re-export Bond Discharge

Issue: Auto spares importer re-exported defective consignment of INR 32 lakh under Section 74 Customs Act drawback at 98% of duty paid. Customs delayed drawback citing identification verification of re-exported goods with originally imported goods.
Approach: Produced container photographs, serial number matching, and supplier acknowledgement of receipt of defective consignment. Cited Asahi India Glass on liberal construction of beneficial provisions. Engaged independent surveyor for identification certificate.
Outcome: Drawback of INR 5.8 lakh released within 6 weeks. Bond discharged in full. Going-forward defect-return SOP installed for similar consignments.

Common Questions

IEC FAQ — VGN Notting Hill Nolambur

Common questions from VGN Notting Hill Nolambur clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

Authorised Dealer (AD) Code is the 14-digit code of the exporter's bank branch authorised by RBI to deal in foreign exchange. Under CBIC instructions and the Customs EDI procedure, the AD Code must be one-time registered at every Customs port from where the exporter intends to ship. Without AD Code mapping at a port, no shipping bill can be filed and no IGST refund can be auto-disbursed at that port.
Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) replaced MEIS with effect from 1-Jan-2021 to comply with WTO subsidy rules. Rates are notified in Appendix 4R of HBP 2023 by HS code. The benefit is auto-credited as a transferable e-scrip in the exporter's RoDTEP ledger on ICEGATE on shipping bill closure provided IEC is active, RCMC is held and the RoDTEP claim flag is selected at the time of filing the shipping bill.
Yes — 600095 (VGN Notting Hill Nolambur) is well within our service area. We handle IEC Registration for this PIN and the surrounding 600xxx localities routinely, with the full process available online or in person.
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.
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.
Yes. Getting IEC Registration right early saves small VGN Notting Hill Nolambur businesses from penalties and rework later, and our fixed, modest fees are designed with smaller operators in mind. We will tell you honestly if something is not needed yet.
Section 11(2) of the Customs Act 1962 read with Section 11(2A) treats import or export without IEC as an offence attracting confiscation of goods and a penalty equal to the value of the goods. Concurrently 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, alongside denial of incentives and possible appearance on the denied entity list.
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.
Yes. Every IEC Registration engagement comes with a GST invoice and copies of all filings, acknowledgements and challans for your records. VGN Notting Hill Nolambur clients receive a clean, documented trail they can rely on later.
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.
ICEGATE (Indian Customs and Central Excise Electronic Commerce / EDI Gateway) is the CBIC portal at icegate.gov.in for filing shipping bills, bills of entry and accessing customs data. Exporters and importers register on ICEGATE with their IEC, DSC and AD Code. ICEGATE registration is required to track shipments, claim IGST refunds and access bond / drawback ledgers.
Yes. VGN Notting Hill Nolambur has an active base of real estate and allied businesses, and we regularly handle IEC for exactly these kinds of clients. We tailor the approach to your line of work rather than applying a one-size template.
Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) Scheme under Chapter 5 of FTP 2023 allows import of capital goods at zero customs duty subject to an export obligation of 6 times the duty saved, to be fulfilled within 6 years. The exporter applies for an EPCG Authorisation on the DGFT portal, holds an active IEC and RCMC, executes a bond and bank guarantee with Customs and reports periodic export obligation discharge.
The denied entity list is a public list maintained by DGFT of persons, firms and exporters whose IECs have been suspended or cancelled, or who are otherwise barred from FTP benefits. Banks and Customs cross-check this list before processing remittances or shipping bills. Removal is by way of compliance, payment of dues and an order from the issuing authority under Section 9 of the FT(D&R) Act.
Yes. Modifications to entity name (only on PAN change), address, partners/directors, authorised signatory or branch addition are filed through Services > IEC > Update/Modify IEC on dgft.gov.in. Aadhaar OTP authentication is required. A nominal fee of ₹200 applies to certain category modifications under Appendix 2K. Branch offices are added as additional addresses without separate IEC.
IEC and GSTIN are linked through the entity PAN. Exporters file Letter of Undertaking (LUT) in Form GST RFD-11 under Rule 96A of the CGST Rules to export goods or services without payment of IGST, or alternatively pay IGST and claim refund under Rule 96 with the shipping bill itself treated as the refund application. Shipping bill data flows from Customs to GST portal for auto-validation.
