Frequently Asked Questions
Can an individual obtain an IEC?
Yes. Any individual engaged in export or import of goods or services, including freelancers, consultants, and sole proprietors, can obtain an IEC. The IEC is linked to the individual PAN. Only one IEC can be issued per PAN.
What is the annual IEC update requirement?
The DGFT mandated annual update of IEC from 2021. Every IEC holder must log in to the DGFT portal between April and June each year and confirm or update their details. Even if nothing has changed, the update must be performed to keep the IEC active. An IEC that has not been updated for a year is automatically deactivated.
