2. Bakers certificate should be on new name or by old name?

3. What mandatory documents we need to attach with application?

If any body have done something like that then do reply..........

Dear Ms Nidhi,

Once the name of the Company has been changed and the ROC has issued the necessary certificate, then obviously every thing will be done in the new name and not in the old name. Accordingly, before going for amendment of IEC Certificate, you will have to get your Company's PAN Card and Bank Account amended with the new name which is basis information/documents required for amendment in IEC Certificate.

Best regards
