Import Export Code preparation without inconsistent records.
Align the applicant, PAN, banking, address and contact information before preparing an IEC application or update.
What is needed to prepare an IEC application?
IEC preparation generally requires accurate applicant identity, PAN-linked entity information, address, bank and contact records. Current DGFT requirements and the applicant’s business status should be verified before filing.
Service overview
Start with the real facts.
The Import Export Code identifies an applicant for relevant import or export activity. Problems often arise when the entity name, PAN, address, bank information or authorised person details do not match across records.
Legal Meridian helps prepare a consistent information set for a new application, update or clarification. IEC issuance and portal processing are controlled by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade.

Questions people ask
Import Export Code FAQs.
Is an IEC a general business licence?
No. It is an identifier connected to relevant import-export activity and does not replace other product, customs or regulatory requirements.
Can a personal PAN and business PAN be used interchangeably?
The correct applicant structure depends on the legal form of the business. Records should match the actual applicant.
Does IEC issuance guarantee permission for every product?
No. Specific goods or activities may be restricted or require separate permissions under current trade and sector rules.
Why should IEC details be kept current?
Outdated entity, contact or bank information can create operational and portal problems. Follow current DGFT update requirements.
