Dear Member,

We would like to inform you that O/o DGFT has issued Trade Notice No.5/2019-20 dated 15th April, 2019 on the above subject.

Kindly refer to Council’s earlier Circular No.ES/316 /2018-19   dated 13th December , 2018 wherein  DGFT had issued Trade Notice No. 39/2018-19 dated 12th December, 2018 clarifying requirement of documents for online IEC applications.  As per the Trade Notice only two documents are required for filing online application for IEC. These documents are (i) address proof & (ii) cancelled cheque / Bank Certificate.

Members may kindly make a note of the following details –

  • Whenever an IEC is picked up for verification under the 5% mandatory check through Risk management System (RMS), Regional Authority (RA) will verify whether the documents submitted as (i) address proof matches the documents listed in Trade Notice No. 39/2015-20 dated 12.12.2018 & that the (ii) cancelled cheque is also as per the aforesaid Trade Notice.

  • If RA observes that there is any variance in the records related to IEC details, RA shall ask the applicant / send an email to the applicant entity at the registered email ID and ask them to rectify the deficiencies / variance noticed in the application / records.

  • Sufficient time of 15 days from the date of communication shall be provided to the applicant to rectify such deficiencies; failing which the RA may suspend the IEC.

  • In case of modifications, the IEC holder / applicant will have to pay the usual modification fees

  • RAs shall furnish a Monthly Report of IEC taken up for further verification, number of IEC rectified / suspended, to the Policy — 2 Division (Shri Dinesh Baid <dinesh.baid@nic.in>) with a copy to EDI Cell.

Members may make a note of the above clarification issued by DGFT and do the needful accordingly.
