DGFT – IEC:
DGFT has noticed from the centralised IEC data bank that multiple IECs have been obtained by some firms / companies from various Regional Authorities of DGFT against the single PAN in contravention of the applicable provisions. This requires corrective action for maintaining consistency with policy and data integrity.
