RCMC (Registration-cum-Membership Certificate) from your relevant Export Promotion Council
AD Code registration with your bank for customs clearance
MSME Registration for export-related benefits and turnover exclusions

Azalea Advisors can guide you through the full compliance chain, not just IEC, so your business is fully export-ready from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, IEC is required for most international transactions.

3. Is IEC valid for lifetime?

Yes, IEC registration is valid for a lifetime with no renewal required.

4. Can individuals apply for IEC?

5. Do I need to renew my IEC every year?

The IEC itself doesn't expire and never needs to be renewed.

Failing to do this can lead to deactivation. We can handle this annual update for you as part of our compliance support.
