The Import Export Code, issued by DGFT, is the 10-digit licence every Indian business needs before importing or exporting goods or services. Without it, customs clearance and foreign remittances simply don't move. We file your IEC application on the DGFT portal, link it with your PAN and bank details correctly, and also handle annual IEC updation — which is mandatory even when nothing has changed, or the code gets deactivated.
Documents typically required
- PAN of the business / proprietor
- Aadhaar / passport of the applicant
- Cancelled cheque or bank certificate
- Business address proof
Good to know
- Typical timeline: 1–3 working days
- Annual updation between April–June is mandatory
- One IEC per PAN — valid for all branches
