What is IEC Registration in India?
IEC Registration is required for businesses that want to import or export goods from India. It is issued by DGFT and works as a unique business identification number for import-export activities.
IEC is valid for the lifetime of the business. However, IEC details should be updated or confirmed on the DGFT portal every year to keep it active.
IEC registration is completed online through the DGFT IEC Profile Management portal. GetMyCA helps with document preparation, online filing and IEC certificate support.

IEC Certificate After Registration
