IEC code updation extended: submit portal applications without supporting documents and benefit from continued penalty exemption for clearance. Extension of the final deadline for IEC code updation requires submission of Appendix 1A or Appendix 2A to modify IEC and PAN on the portal; no supporting documents or fees are required even if holder status changes, and the Handbook of Procedure penalty exemption continues to apply; consignments will be cleared using the updated IEC information from the effective date.
