Hi,

I have an IEC for a service export proprietor business in Coimbatore. I will be shifting my business to Chennai, which is under a different DGFT jurisdiction.

When I enquired, I was told that since I got my IEC at Coimbatore, my file will always stay in Coimbatore, and that I must apply for any modification in Coimbatore only. Is there a facility to shift my file from Coimbatore jurisdiction to Chennai jurisdiction? I don't want to keep going to Coimbatore to make any modifications.

Should I cancel the IEC in Coimbatore and apply for a new one in Chennai? Any guidance will be aprreciated.

Regards,

Deepak
