How to Get an Import Export License in Bangalore – Step-by-Step Guide

 

Looking to expand your business beyond Indian borders? Whether you're an exporter of goods or services, or an importer of products and materials, getting an Import Export License—commonly known as the IEC (Import Export Code)—is your first and most essential step. At Power of Factorial Business Solutions, we specialize in providing fast, reliable, and affordable IEC registration services in Bangalore and across Karnataka.



The IEC is a unique 10-digit code issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Ministry of Commerce, Government of India. It serves as the business identification number for all international trade transactions. Without this license, your business simply cannot engage in import or export legally.

Many people assume that IEC is required only for product-based businesses. However, this code is also mandatory for service exporters—like IT professionals, consultants, freelancers, and design studios—who receive payments from overseas clients. So whether you're shipping products or selling your skills globally, IEC registration is non-negotiable.

Applying for an IEC is now completely online. But despite the convenience, the process can still be confusing due to documentation requirements, technical errors, and compliance guidelines. That’s where Power of Factorial Business Solutions comes in. Our expert team helps you with everything from document preparation to application filing and post-registration support.

Here’s what makes us the preferred IEC consultant in Bangalore:

  • We provide end-to-end support and help you avoid delays or rejections.

  • We ensure all documents are prepared and filed as per DGFT standards.

  • Our pricing is transparent, with no hidden charges.

  • You can complete the process 100% online from anywhere in India.

For businesses based in Bangalore or other parts of Karnataka, we offer dedicated support with local understanding and national reach. Whether you're a manufacturer looking to export, a trader sourcing materials globally, or a new startup venturing into international e-commerce, our IEC registration service is tailored to your business needs.

The documents required for IEC registration include PAN card, identity proof (Aadhaar, passport, or voter ID), address proof, cancelled cheque or bank certificate, and passport-sized photograph (for proprietors). In the case of companies or LLPs, you may also need a digital signature certificate (DSC).

Once all documents are in place, our team will prepare your application and submit it to the DGFT portal. Within 1–3 working days, you will receive your IEC code via email in digital format. This code is valid for a lifetime, but DGFT mandates that it be updated annually—even if there are no changes.

One major benefit of having an IEC is access to various government benefits and incentives under export promotion schemes. You also become eligible for input tax credit and GST refunds on export transactions. Additionally, your business gains credibility with international buyers and financial institutions.

At Power of Factorial, we believe that global business should be simple, not stressful. That’s why over 1000+ clients across India trust us for their business compliance and licensing requirements.

If you're ready to take your business global, we’re just one call away. Reach out to our IEC experts today.

Big Changes in GSTR-3B Filing Process Effective 2025

 GSTR-3B is an essential GST return summarizing taxable supplies, input tax credit (ITC), and tax payable or recoverable for a specific month. This compliance document ensures taxpayers accurately report their transactions and claims under the GST system. Significant amendments in its filing procedure will take effect from 2025, introducing tighter integration with GSTR-2B to enhance accuracy. What’s New in GSTR-3B Filing? The government has overhauled the process to improve reconciliation and compliance. The filing of GSTR-3B will now be conditional on the availability of GSTR-2B for the relevant tax period. Businesses must adjust to these changes and align their reporting accordingly. Previously, taxpayers could file GSTR-3B irrespective of whether GSTR-2B was generated.

For instance, if a business files its GSTR-1 for Decemb...
