What is AD code?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Ans.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> AD code refers to the &#8216;Authorized Dealer&#8217; code. It contains the 14-digit code that is issued by the <\/span><b>RBI&#8217;s authorized banks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The Reserve Bank of India authorizes those banks that deal in foreign exchange.

The code, which contains 14-digit characters, is required to generate the &#8216;shipping bill.&#8217; Without the AD code, the exporters cannot proceed with customs clearance requirements.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Claim Government Benefits<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: The AD code is vital for receiving the export incentives directly to the registered bank. Through the registration, the exporters can avail of the duty drawbacks or GST refund.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Compliance with Authority: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The authorized dealer code allows the RBI as well as the customs authority to track the flow of foreign exchange. It helps to align with the compliance requirements of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Streamline Transactions:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Not only for exporters, the AD code is further vital for importers. It is required to release imported goods payments through a legal banking channel.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q3_How_can_I_obtain_the_AD_code_letter\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><b>Q3. How can I obtain the AD code letter?<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Ans.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Follow the steps below for <\/span><b>AD code approval:<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Step 1: Approach to bank\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The exporter needs to contact their current bank manager for AD code approval. Must ensure your bank deals in foreign exchange transactions and is authorized by the RBI.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Step 2: Formal Request<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Write a formal letter to your bank&#8217;s branch manager and request that they issue the 14-digit AD code for your import-export activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Step 3: Submit Required Documents<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the approval, provide the specified documents, such as the IEC certificate, the PAN of your company, the <\/span><b>GST registration certificate<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and the canceled cheque.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Step 4: AD code approval<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Upon verification of all details, the bank will issue the 14-digit AD code on its official letterhead.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q4_How_can_you_register_your_AD_code_letter_on_the_ICEGATE_website\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><b>Q4.

Single registration is sufficient for all Indian ports under the same IEC certificate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The registration process on ICEGATE (Indian Customs Electronic Gateway) is as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Register on Portal:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Make an account on the ICEGATE website. For this, the applicant needs a Class 3 DSC (Digital Signature Certificate) and specific documents.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Provide Documents: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Visit your account and navigate to the section &#8216;Filing Services.&#8217; Visit the option &#8216;e-Sanchit&#8217; for attaching the digitally signed PDF of the AD code letter and other specific documents.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Register Bank Account:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Navigate to the option &#8216;Bank Account Management.&#8221; Select &#8216;Foreign Remittance A\/c (AD code).&#8221; Visit the option &#8216;Add New Bank Account.&#8217;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Mention Details:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> In the application of &#8216;Add new bank account,&#8217; mention the details such as bank name, branch, AD code, and bank account number, including the location of customs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Verify and Submit: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the e-Sanchit process, generate the IRN and upload it.

However, the cost can be associated with additional requirements, which follow:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Charge by Bank: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your bank manager may charge a fee for issuing the <\/span><b>AD code letter.<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Digital Signature Certificate (DSC):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> During the online registration on the ICEGATE website, the Class 3 DSC is mandatory.

To track, the first applicant needs to log into the ICEGATE account. The second step includes a visit to &#8216;Financial Services &gt; Bank Account Management &gt; Authorized Dealer Code. On the portal, mention the specific details and proceed to view your application&#8217;s current status.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q7_Are_different_AD_codes_required_for_each_separate_port\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><b>Q7. Are different AD codes required for each separate port?<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Ans.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> No, a single authorized dealer code is enough across all Indian ports with the same IEC. Earlier, the businesses needed to register their AD code at each separate port from where they wanted to export goods. However, the new rule made the single registration available across all ports. But still, exporters need to register their IFSC code at each separate port to receive incentives.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q8_What_is_the_AD_code_registration_processing_timeline_from_the_bank_to_ICEGATE\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><b>Q8.

The banks issue the AD code between 3 and 5 days, and the rest of the process on the portal also takes 3-4 days. However, it can be increased depending on the accuracy of documents and verification by the customs department.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q9_What_documents_are_required_for_an_AD_code_application\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><b>Q9.

The authorized dealer code is only a one-time registration process and is valid until changes come in bank details or the applicant&#8217;s identity. The holder of the AD code is subject to modification to their code if there are any changes in bank details. It can be modified through the online ICEGATE portal. Re-registration of the AD code becomes mandatory when the exporter changes its bank, branch, or business details.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Discussion_Apply_for_AD_code_Registration_at_Customs\"><\/span><b>Final Discussion | Apply for AD code Registration at Customs<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An <\/span><b>AD code with IEC<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is the primary requirement to start the import-export activities from India.
