Obtaining an Import Export Code (IEC), a DGFT-issued 10-digit business identification number, is simple and can be done online. We've put together a 6-step guide on how to apply for an IEC online to help Indian sellers export to other countries.
Here's a step-by-step guideline to how to apply for import export code:
Step 1: Go to the DGFT website and register.
Log up to the DGFT website to begin the application process for IEC (a government body that handles export duty in India). When you get to the site, you'll find information regarding exports, as well as the most recent changes and announcements from the DGFT.
To register, go to the services tab and select IEC profile management from the drop-down menu. Details regarding IEC can be found on the new page. Click on apply for IEC under processes in IEC. There will be a pop-up window. If you already have an account with the DGFT, you can login, or you can register and establish a new account.
Step 2: Fill in your PAN information.
After you've logged in, the screen in front of you will prompt you for your PAN. Your ‘mobile number' and 'email ID' will be required when you provide your PAN details. After that, generate the token by entering the CAPTCHA code. Only a few details will be required when the code has been successfully verified. An OTP is a one-time password that is used to validate a person's details and identity. After you've completed all of the fields, enter the OTP that was sent to your phone number and email address and click Submit. Your information will be verified by the CBDT PAN server.
Step 3: Fill in the blanks with your company's information.
On the following page, you'll see an E-COM number that you'll use for all future communications about your e-IEC application. This form requires you to fill in information about your company. It contains information such as the date of incorporation, the nature of the business, and bank account information. After that, fill in the applicant's information, including date of birth, name, address, PAN, submission date, and location. After that, put in your company's branch information. This space can be left empty if there are no branches.
Step 4: Fill in the information about your relationship.
In the next stage, enter the data of the company's director or, in the case of a partnership firm, the details of the partners.
Step 5: Submit your paperwork and pay your fees.
Then, upload the required documents, such as an address proof and a bank certificate or a cancelled check. Upload the files in the desired format, such as PDF or GIF. Scanned and uploaded documents are required.
On your screen, a payment form will now appear. Several payment portals will be available after entering the needed amount and pressing the submit button. Make your payment after selecting the suitable option.
