FAQ

Common questions

Is IEC mandatory for service exporters?+

IEC is not mandatory if you are only exporting services and do not claim benefits under the Foreign Trade Policy — but most banks ask for it for forex remittances above a threshold.

How often must IEC be updated?+

IEC must be electronically updated/confirmed every year between April and June, even if no details have changed. Non-update auto-deactivates the IEC.
