About IEC Annual Update & Modification
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Every Importer-Exporter Code holder must update or confirm its IEC details on the DGFT portal once a year between April and June, even if nothing has changed. If it isn't updated, the IEC is deactivated and imports and exports stop until it is updated again. Changes such as a new address, partner or director, or bank account are made through the IEC modification facility at any time.
A deactivated IEC blocks shipments at customs, often discovered only when goods are held. The annual update is quick, but it must be done with a DSC or Aadhaar-based verification by the authorised person.
We file the annual update, process modifications, and reactivate deactivated codes by completing the pending update.
| Annual update window | April to June each year |
|---|---|
| If missed | IEC deactivated until updated |
| Modifications | Any time on the DGFT portal |
| Verification | DSC or Aadhaar OTP |
