How to apply for IEC code

To apply for an IEC code, visit the DGFT website and register or log in to your account. Complete the online application form (ANF 2A) with your business details, PAN, and bank information. Upload the required documents, including identity proof, address proof, and a cancelled cheque. Pay the application fee online and submit the form. The IEC code is typically issued digitally within one to two business days if all documents are in order. You can apply for IEC code entirely online without visiting any office.

Once you have your IEC code, you can start exporting and receiving international payments. Platforms like Skydo, an RBI-authorised cross-border payments solution, help Indian exporters collect foreign payments quickly and at competitive rates, making the export process smoother after your IEC registration is complete.
