The Importer-Exporter Code issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade is required to import or export goods from India and to claim most export benefits. It is linked to the business's PAN and is applied for online on the DGFT portal. Once issued, the IEC does not expire, but its details must be updated on the DGFT portal every year to keep it active.

Anyone importing or exporting goods from India for business purposes needs an IEC. Certain categories, such as government departments and some notified charitable organisations, are exempt.
An IEC is generally not mandatory for export of services, but it is needed to claim benefits under the Foreign Trade Policy for services exporters.
The IEC has no expiry date, but it must be updated on the DGFT portal annually between April and June, even if nothing has changed. If not updated, it may be deactivated.
GST registration is not a precondition for IEC, but exporters of goods usually need GST registration for customs and refund purposes.
Yes. An individual can obtain an IEC using their own PAN to import or export goods for business purposes.
