Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if we miss the annual DGFT IEC update window?
Failing to update IEC details between April and June may lead to the IEC being deactivated by DGFT. Deactivation halts cross-border clearance until a formal online update is successfully submitted.
Can changes to bank accounts be made directly on DGFT?
Yes, bank modifications can be filed on the DGFT portal, followed by appropriate validation and simultaneous AD code coordination at customs.
Is DSC mandatory for DGFT portal transactions?
For corporate entities (LLPs, Private Limited, Public Limited), a Class-3 organization DSC is generally required for signing applications and amendments.
Statutory Notice
Requirements and procedures are subject to government rules and may change. Applications are subject to government verification, portal uptime, and designated statutory regulations. RC CONSULTANCY does not guarantee government approval timelines.
