The IEC is updated regularly to reflect the most accurate and current state of business. This is essential for compliance and the smooth operation of import-export operations.
The Importance of IEC Modification
After 2024, the need to update the Importer Exporter Code has increased. Before 2024, an IEC issued remained valid for the entire life of the business without any need to update it annually. This practice led to problems as the IEC certificate was outdated when there were any changes in the company. Updates to the IEC are important for the following reasons:
- Regulatory Compliance : Businesses are required to ensure their IEC details comply with the legal and regulatory requirements of the DGFT.
- Smooth Business Operation: Accurate IEC detail helps avoid delays in customs clearing and other export-import processes.
- Update Business Information: Businesses can undergo changes, such as address, ownership or bank details. This ensures that all stakeholders are provided with the most accurate information.
- Facilitation Trade: A updated IEC allows for smoother transactions between foreign buyers and sellers, since the information is consistent across all legal documents.

Why do I have to file a return even though my taxes, interest and other fees are paid?
The amount paid in advance tax, and the amounts withheld as TDS or collected as TCS, will only become your tax due after you have completed your self-assessment. The department is notified of this self-assessment by filing a return. The government can only claim the taxes prepaid as its own income if the department is informed of this self-assessment. The filing of a return is crucial for this process, and has therefore been made mandatory. A penalty will be imposed if you fail to file.
Does it have to be filed a tax return once I get my PAN Card?
No. You must file a return only if your income is taxable.
