Dear Member,
DGFT has issued Public Notice No.59 /(2015-2020) dated 21.02.2017 intimating about amendments made in the revised provision as at sl no.1 [para 2.14(A) of the Handbook of Procedure (2015-20)] of the Public Notice No.54/2015- 2020 dated 11.01.2017.
Earlier Provision under para 2.14(A) of the Handbook of Procedure (2015-20) -
When an IEC holder seeks modification/change of Branch Office/Head Office/Registered Office address in its IEC and which involves a shift in its jurisdictional RA, a request to that effect will have to be made to RA concerned under whose jurisdiction the applicant exists.
On the basis of this request, the RA (custodian of the IEC file till now) will process such requests and amend IEC, if found appropriate, under intimation to the RA under whose jurisdiction the applicant wants transfer. The new RA shall allow the person in its new address to carry out necessary functions and also apply for eligible benefits as per FTP.
Revised Provision under para 2.14(A) of the Handbook of Procedure (2015-20) -
Members may kindly make note of the above changes.
Thanking you,
V. ANIL KUMAR
Executive Director
