This will prove to be a very good system why and how?:-
1. Any organisation/IEC entity can correct its details some times that creates difficulty in mismatching of details.
2. by doing so this will save lot of time and manpower cost of Government by giving authority to the iec holders.
3. This shall proov a safe operation by the point of security because only IEC holder can change.
4. No unnecessary follow up shall be needed to contact DGFT frequently for changes.
5. After all this will be a very good step of our Government for Export Business.
6. only this will need to have good look in its implementation and and security.
That’s really funny that govt is now starting for modification of IEC on online inspite the fact that yet online application is not properly operating. Govt. first should improve the services for online application swiftly before this.
