Frequently Asked Questions Q: Is the IEC mandatory for service exporters? A: While GST registration is primary for services, an IEC is mandatory if you wish to claim any government incentives (like SEIS replacements in 2026) or if you deal with physical cross-border documents. Q: What is the penalty for not updating the IEC annually? A: If the IEC is not updated between April and June every year, it is flagged as "Deactivated" by the DGFT, leading to an immediate halt of your shipments at customs. Q: Can you help us with GST Refunds on Exports? A: Absolutely. We specialize in both the "With Payment" (IGST Refund) and "Without Payment" (LUT) routes to ensure your working capital isn't blocked.
