FTP - ANF2A Amended

By Vijay Kumar

PART A - Applicant Firm Details - of ANF2A - Application form for IEC, is amended.

Complete PAN details, Telephone Numbers, Email IDs, and Mobile Number (of the Signatory of the ANF2A) have been made mandatory fields; while Alternate Email ID, Website Address are optional. This is required to facilitate updating the IEC records. No payment of application fee is required till 31.3.2012 for such updating of IEC Records.

Email ID of the Banker would assist RA to cross-check the issuance of the Bank Certificate from the Banker, if in doubt.

Several instances have come to the notice of DGFT wherein several IECs get allocated when the applicant does not indicate the full name of the individuals. Hence it is now being made mandatory that full name (in the order - First Name, Middle Name and Last Name) should be filled up, without using any abbreviations wherever in ANF2A the name of an individual is required to be filled up.

An illustrative example is given in Annexure A to this Public Notice.

DGFT Public Notice No. 84/(RE2010)/2009-14, Dated: November 11, 2011
