What is IEC Modification in Import-Export Business?
Any holder of Importer Exporter Code needs to update it from time to time. These IEC details are needed to be verified and updated annually. Generally, this updating process takes place within April and June each year. The entire process of updating IEC details post-verification is known as IEC Modification in the country.
Any act of non-compliance initiated from the IEC Certificate holder leads to deactivation of IEC Code. Apart from that, IEC Modification is mandated in Import-export businesses because-
