Photograph removal from IEC: IEC is now PAN based and should not be treated as an identity card, affecting RCMC processing. The IEC format change dispenses with a photograph on IEC printouts and has led to EPCs denying RCMC applications lacking photographs. Clarification: from 9.8.2018 IEC is a PAN based system generated code and is no longer to be treated as an identity card for identity verification; stakeholders should accept electronic IECs without photographs for RCMC and related trade formalities.
