Questions about Licences & Certifications
IEC does not expire, but the DGFT profile must be updated every year (April–June) even if nothing has changed; otherwise it is deactivated.
Only if they claim export benefits; otherwise, for services, IEC is generally not needed. GST LUT is still needed for zero-rated supply without paying tax.
We guide you through the application and documents; prosecution before the Registry is best handled through a registered trademark agent or advocate, whom we can coordinate with.
