IEC Modification / Amendment

Changed your address, bank account, or entity name? We file the IEC modification via ANF-2A in modification mode so your code matches your current details.

Changed your registered address, bank account, or entity name? Your IEC needs to match. We file the modification via ANF-2A so it does.

An IEC modification is filed the same way a fresh application is, through ANF-2A on the DGFT portal, just in modification mode against your existing code. It covers entity name, registered or operational address, bank account details, and director or partner changes.

Scope

What's included

  • Filed against the ₹200 DGFT modification fee.

Specifics

The details

What counts as a modification

A legal entity name change, a registered or operational address change, a bank account change, or a director/partner change on file with your IEC all go through the same route: ANF-2A, filed in modification mode against your existing IEC.

Documents

  • Updated address proof (electricity bill, sale deed, rent agreement, or recent landline/mobile bill), if the address changed
  • Cancelled cheque or bank certificate, if bank details changed
  • DSC or Aadhaar e-sign of the authorised signatory

A modification is often discovered during your annual updation filing, when a change you'd already made elsewhere hasn't been reflected on the IEC yet. If that's your situation, we can handle both in the same pass.

Common mistakes founders make

  • Continuing to use an IEC with outdated bank or address details after those details changed elsewhere.
  • Assuming a name change requires a fresh IEC application rather than a modification to the existing one.

Clarifications

Frequently asked questions

₹200, a DGFT modification fee.

Yes. You only need to supply proof for whatever actually changed. There's no need for a full fresh application.

Yes, a modification found during your annual updation window can usually be filed alongside it.
