Comprehensive Guide to IEC Registration AY 2026-27, explained

An Import Export Code (IEC) is a 10-digit identification number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Ministry of Commerce and Industries, Government of India. It is mandatory for anyone looking to start an import/export business in India. IEC is required by the importer to clear customs and shipment, and to transfer money to foreign banks. Exporters require an IEC to send shipments and receive money in foreign currency.

The best part about the IEC is that it comes with lifetime validity. Once issued, you never have to renew it. Furthermore, there are no annual compliance requirements, such as return filings, associated with holding an IEC. This makes it an incredibly low-maintenance and highly beneficial registration for businesses aiming to go global.

To keep the IEC active, the DGFT simply requires the IEC holder to update or confirm their details electronically on the DGFT portal every year between April and June. The registration process is entirely online, requiring basic documents like PAN, address proof, and a cancelled cheque.
