Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Import Export Code (IEC)?
IEC is a unique 10-digit code issued by DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign Trade) that is mandatory for any person or business involved in importing or exporting goods and services from India.
Is IEC mandatory for all exports?
IEC is mandatory for importing/exporting goods. For services exports, IEC is needed to claim benefits under Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) like duty drawback or SEIS. However, services exporters receiving payments below ₹15 lakh per year may be exempt.
Who can apply for IEC?
Any individual, proprietorship, partnership, LLP, or company engaged in import/export can apply. Even freelancers exporting services can get an IEC.
Is there a validity period for IEC?
No, IEC has lifetime validity. However, it must be updated annually on the DGFT portal between April-June every year, failing which it can be deactivated.
Can I use one IEC for multiple businesses?
No, each business entity needs its own IEC. However, a single IEC covers all ports and products — you don't need separate IECs for different goods.
What is the government fee for IEC?
The government fee for IEC registration is ₹500, payable online through the DGFT portal.
How long does it take to get IEC?
With CompanyKholo, IEC is typically issued within 3-5 working days. In straightforward cases, it can be as fast as 2 days.

Still Deciding? Here's What Happens If You Wait:

Every day you delay could cost you more than you think.

  • Your preferred company name may get taken — popular names are registered every hour
  • Compliance deadlines don't wait — late filings attract penalties of ₹100/day and legal consequences
  • You can't open a business bank account — without registration, your business can't operate formally
  • Government fees may increase — MCA has raised fees multiple times in recent years
  • Your competitors are registering right now — while you think, they act
