Business documents and paperwork representing IEC registration and DGFT profile management

IEC Registration & Modification

Get your IEC right the first time, so DGFT never becomes the bottleneck.

New venture launching exports. Existing IEC needs an address update. Dormant IEC blocking a fresh remittance. Every DGFT profile is a chain of PAN, GST, bank and KYC links, and one broken link stops the whole export cycle. We keep every link clean.

Why IEC files fail

An IEC that isn't clean quietly blocks every downstream export benefit.

PAN mismatch

A single character mismatch between PAN and IEC KYC triggers a rejection loop.

Dormant profile

IECs not re-verified annually are auto-deactivated by DGFT without notice.

Bank refusal

AD banks refuse cross-border remittances against a stale or unmodified IEC.

Wrong category

Wrong entity or product category blocks scheme eligibility (RoDTEP, EPCG, Advance Authorisation).

Address drift

Un-updated address on the IEC breaks reconciliation with GST and Customs data.

How the registration works

Four steps. Clear timelines. One person accountable.

01

Diagnose

We validate your PAN, GST, bank and KYC chain before we touch the portal, so DGFT deficiencies are the exception, not the norm.

02

Prepare

Application drafted, evidence pack assembled, DSC configured, and every field mapped to the exact DGFT-accepted format.

03

File & track

Application filed on the DGFT portal, tracked to allotment, every regional-office query answered within its clock.

04

Handover

IEC certificate delivered, DGFT profile configured for downstream schemes, and a clean handover pack for your compliance file.

Advisory-led, no juniors on your file

Led by a senior EXIM practitioner who has been on the DGFT side of the desk, the same side that raises the deficiency queries you're trying to answer.

The position

IEC filed six years earlier, never re-verified. A large inward remittance from a US client hit the AD bank and was flagged. The bank refused to credit until DGFT reactivated the IEC.

What we did

  • Ran an end-to-end PAN, GST and KYC validation
  • Filed the DGFT re-verification with fresh KYC and DSC
  • Directly coordinated with the DGFT regional office
  • Cleared two deficiency queries within their clock
  • Sent the reactivation confirmation to the AD bank the same day
  • Delivered a compliance pack for the annual audit

The outcome

IEC reactivated, USD 640K credited to the exporter's account within 9 days of engagement, and an annual re-verification calendar set up so this never recurs.
