What Is an IEC?
IEC stands for Importer Exporter Code. It is the principal business-identification number used for importing goods into India or exporting goods from India, subject to the applicable exemptions. After the introduction of PAN-based IEC, the identifier is based on the legal entity’s PAN. However, the entity must still complete the prescribed DGFT registration process and obtain an active IEC before using it for import-export activities.
IEC Certificate Versus IEC Registration
IEC Registration
This is the process of submitting the legal entity, PAN, address, bank, GST and signatory information through DGFT.
IEC Certificate
This is the electronic certificate issued after the application is successfully processed.
IEC Registration is therefore the application process, while the IEC Certificate is the final electronic document.
Why it matters
What Is an IEC Certificate?
An IEC Certificate is the electronic certificate generated after DGFT successfully issues the Importer Exporter Code.
The certificate generally contains information such as:
Name of the IEC holder
Registered or head-office address
IEC number
PAN
Date of issue
Authorised-signatory details
Branch or unit information
Electronic verification details
The certificate can be downloaded through the IEC profile-management facility after successful issuance.
Is IEC Mandatory?
IEC is generally required for the import or export of goods from or into India, unless the person or transaction falls within a prescribed exempt category.
For export of services or technology, IEC is necessary where the exporter intends to avail benefits under the Foreign Trade Policy.
IEC may also be required for:
- Customs clearance
- Shipping Bill filing
- Bill of Entry filing
- ICEGATE Registration
- AD Code Registration
- RCMC Registration
- Certificate of Origin applications
- Advance Authorisation
- EPCG Authorisation
- Status Holder recognition
- RoDTEP and Duty Drawback processes
- Bank export-import transactions
- Export-platform onboarding
The exact requirement depends on the transaction, product, bank, Customs process and Foreign Trade Policy provision.
IEC for Export of Services
IEC is not always required merely because an Indian business provides a service to a foreign customer.
However, IEC is required where the service or technology exporter intends to claim benefits under the Foreign Trade Policy or use DGFT facilities that require an IEC.
A service exporter may also require IEC for:
- eBRC Management
- Status Holder Certificate
- DGFT authorisations
- Certain bank or platform requirements
- Cross-border business onboarding
One PAN, One IEC
IEC is issued on the basis of the legal entity’s PAN.
A legal entity should not apply for different IECs merely because it has:
- Multiple branches
- Multiple factories
- Multiple GST registrations
- Multiple product categories
- Multiple bank accounts
- Multiple Customs ports
- Separate business divisions
Branches, units and factories can be added to the same IEC profile.
A separately incorporated legal entity with a different PAN generally requires its own IEC.

- Business or trade name
- Business-address proof

- Cancelled cheque or bank certificate
- Mobile number

- LLP PAN

The applicant may need:
- Individual PAN
- Aadhaar
- Residential or business-address proof
- Bank-account details

- Directors or partners
- Bank accounts
- Exporter category

- DGFT flags
No-change confirmation
Where no information has changed, the holder should still complete the prescribed electronic confirmation.

Failure to update or confirm IEC information can result in deactivation.
IEC Modification
IEC should be modified when material information changes.
Common modifications
- Registered-address change

Troubleshooting
Common IEC Registration Problems
PAN and legal name do not match
The name entered may differ from the PAN database.
Our approach: We compare: PAN, Incorporation certificate, Partnership deed, MCA information, DGFT application, Date of birth or incorporation. The PAN record may need correction before filing.
Business name differs from bank-account name
Examples include: Company using director’s account, Partnership using partner’s account, Proprietorship trade name missing from bank proof, Old business name on the cheque • Bank account not updated after a name change
Our approach: We assess whether an updated cheque, bank certificate or bank-account correction is required.
Bank validation failed
Possible reasons include: Incorrect account number, Wrong IFSC, Closed account, Recently opened account, Account-holder mismatch, Bank integration delay, Unclear cheque, Old bank branch details6.
Our approach: We reconcile the bank proof and application information before corrective action.
Address proof is not in the business name
The business may operate from: Rented premises, Family-owned premises, Shared office, Co-working space, Director-owned premises.
Our approach: Where permitted, the application may be supported using: Owner’s address proof, No-Objection Certificate, Rent or lease agreement, Applicant-address information.
GSTIN is not available
The applicant may not yet have GST Registration.
Our approach: We review the applicant’s GST position and use the applicable declaration route rather than entering incorrect information.
OTP is not received
Possible reasons include: Wrong mobile number, Wrong email address, Network delay, Spam filtering, Portal issue, Outdated IEC contact information.
Our approach: We verify the registered contact information and available resend or correction process.
Aadhaar e-sign fails
Possible reasons include: Aadhaar mobile not linked, Name mismatch, OTP issue, Signatory mismatch, Temporary portal interruption.
Our approach: We review whether Aadhaar signing can be corrected or DSC should be used.
DSC is not detected
Possible reasons include: Expired DSC, Wrong PAN in DSC, Token-driver issue, Signer utility issue, Unsupported browser configuration, DSC not registered with DGFT, Signatory mismatch.
Our approach: We perform basic DGFT and DSC checks and identify whether certificate-provider support is needed.
IEC Certificate was not received by email
The certificate may have been issued but: Email entered incorrectly, Message delivered to spam, Email inaccessible, Portal message failed, User account changed.
Our approach: We check the DGFT application and download the certificate from the IEC profile.
IEC is active at DGFT but inactive at ICEGATE
Possible reasons include: Data-transmission delay, PAN inconsistency, GSTIN inconsistency, Customs alert, ICEGATE onboarding issue, Branch mismatch.
Our approach: We review DGFT and Customs status and identify the appropriate correction or escalation route.
Multiple IECs exist against one PAN
One PAN should ordinarily have one IEC.
Our approach: We review: Historical IECs, Legal entities, PAN, Duplicate records, Surrender or correction requirement, DGFT representation.
IEC was deactivated after annual confirmation was missed
Our approach: We complete the applicable update or confirmation and assess the reactivation route.
