FTP - Procedure for modification/change in Branch Office/Head Office/Registered Office Address in IEC
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 the new RA to whose jurisdiction the applicant is shifting its Office. A copy of this request with application details is to be submitted to the old RA from where the original IEC was issued.
On the basis of this request, the old RA (the custodian of the IEC file till now) will transfer the IEC file to the new RA (the new custodian) which shall make appropriate amendment based on the transferred file and fresh documents submitted to it by the applicant. 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.
