Digital signature for DGFT portal
A digital signature for the DGFT portal is mandatory for businesses dealing with exports and imports. DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign Trade) made it compulsory for all organisations to upload documents with valid digital signatures. It will ensure proper authenticity verification of the user and their records. Organisations can buy a DGFT Digital Signature from DSC providers like Apicountry.
IEC itself does not expire. Businesses are required to confirm or update IEC details annually on the DGFT portal. IEC may become deactivated if annual confirmation or updating is not completed within the prescribed timeline.
Apply DGFT Digital Signature
To apply for a DGFT Digital Signature, the organisation should have an Import Export Code (IEC) Certificate. IEC is a unique number assigned to all registered organisations in the DGFT portal. If an organisation want to register on the DGFT portal for the first time, they must buy a Class 3 Digital Signature. Refer to our article on how to purchase Class 3 digital signature for more details.
