Currently, applications for IEM/IL under I(D&R) Act, 1951 are processed as under : -

1. Applications are accepted through the IEM portal at https://services.dipp.gov.in. 

2. Through this portal, applications for acknowledgment of IEM – Part A (for the establishment of business) and IEM – Part B (upon commencement of commercial production) are filed online by entrepreneurs of prescribed industrial undertakings. 

3. The Acknowledgement Certificate of the IEM is issued physically on paper and scanned copy is uploaded on the portal.
