Furnishing of IEC details of indigenous supplier along with request for invalidation letter.

1. It has been observed that the applicants enter wrong DD Number, DD date and even wrong amount while feeding online applications. It has also been noticed in many cases that selection of payment mode is also wrong. Instead of DD option, the applicant selects BR/TR option. Due to these inconsistencies the correct details do not get reflected in the payment monitoring system of this office and it becomes difficult for the office to forward Demand Drafts to the Pay and Accounts Office.

It is, therefore, informed that such deficient applications will not be accepted and will be returned back in the first instance itself. The trade may please make a note of the same.

2. Exporters are also advised to mention their name, IEC number and file number on the reverse side of the Demand Draft/Pay Order while filing applications at the relevant counter.

3. It has also been noticed that while making requests for issuance of Invalidation letters, advance licence holders do not give IEC No(s). of the intermediate supplier(s). In the new software, the same is mandatory. Therefore, in order to avoid return of the application on this ground, the members of trade are requested to specifically indicate the IEC number of the intermediate supplier also in addition to complete address and other details of intermediate supplier.
