About IEC Amendments
Overview
An Import Export Code (IEC) is issued by DGFT and is linked to the PAN of the business. Whenever there is a change in name, address, constitution, partners, directors or bank account, the IEC must be modified online on the DGFT portal.
DGFT also requires every IEC holder to update their IEC details every year between April and June. If the update is not done, the IEC is deactivated, and shipments can get stuck at customs.
Company Mitra handles:
- Modification of address, name, partners, directors and bank details
- Mandatory annual IEC update
- Reactivation of a deactivated IEC
- Download of the updated e-IEC certificate
The process is fully online and verified using Aadhaar OTP or a digital signature. Note that IEC is tied to PAN, so if your PAN changes, for example on conversion of proprietorship into a company, a fresh IEC is needed. We guide you on that as well.

Frequently asked questions
Is annual IEC update mandatory?
Yes. IEC holders must update or confirm details every year between April and June, even if nothing has changed.
What happens if I do not update?
The IEC is deactivated and you cannot import or export until it is updated and reactivated.
Can I change the PAN in IEC?
No. IEC is linked to PAN, so a change in PAN requires a fresh IEC.
How long does modification take?
Most modifications are approved online within 1 to 2 working days.
Compliances after this
- Complete annual IEC update every April to June
- Update bank details with customs and AD code where changed
Penalty for delay / non-compliance
Failure to update IEC annually leads to deactivation of IEC under the Foreign Trade Policy; imports and exports cannot be made until it is reactivated.
