About DGFT

DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign Trade) handles the Importer-Exporter Code, licences and foreign-trade scheme applications, and runs its own helpdesk and email for these. The DGFT official contacts are listed here so exporters and their consultants reach the directorate directly.

Keep your IEC and application file details ready when you write in. All DGFT fees are paid on the official portal only, so kindly be careful of consultants who ask for payments in their own account.

The helpdesk works Monday to Friday, 9:30 AM to 6 PM, so it is closed at weekends and on government holidays. Email reaches the team outside those hours.
The Importer Exporter Code is the registration every Indian importer or exporter needs, and it is applied for on the DGFT portal with PAN and bank details. Applications are made online rather than through an office visit.
Raise it with the regional authority handling your file, which is set by where your IEC is registered, and the portal shows which office that is. The EDI helpdesk on [email protected] handles portal faults rather than individual case decisions.
Yes, an IEC must be updated annually on the DGFT portal even if nothing has changed, or it can be deactivated. The update is free and takes a few minutes online.
No. Only the prescribed government fee on the portal applies. Consultants may charge for their own services, but no extra payment is needed to obtain or update an IEC, and no official will ask for one.
