Import-Export Code (IEC), ISO Certification & Labour Licenses

Overview & Scope of Service

What this service covers

Operating a compliant business requires industry-specific licences, regulatory permits and quality certifications. VJ & Associates assists in obtaining the Import Export Code (IEC) from DGFT, ISO quality-management certifications, labour licences, factory permits and other statutory certifications.

How to read section numbers: s.80C→s.123 means Section 80C of the Income-tax Act, 1961 is now Section 123 of the Income-tax Act, 2025 (in force from 1 April 2026). Returns for FY 2025-26 still use the old numbers; Tax Year 2026-27 onwards uses the new ones. Section Finder

FAQ

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.
