Hi,
Did any you try to fill IEC application form online. I got the mobile token but I’m not able to get the email token immediately. I’m getting the email token almost after 6 to 8 hrs. I have tried many times. But same problem every time. I have to keep the browser open till I get the email token to continue filling IEC application online.
Does any one have solution for this or did any one face similar problems. Please share your thoughts.
Regards,
Balaji
