Import Export Code (IEC) for Businesses in Ludhiana

What this covers in Ludhiana

Licence applications from Ludhiana are routed to the Punjab state authorities and, where applicable, the central licensing body.

Punjab does not levy professional tax; Ludhiana and Mohali lead industrial registrations. Professional tax is not levied in Punjab, which affects employer-side registrations and payroll compliance for Ludhiana businesses.

Because the process is jurisdiction-agnostic in practice, a Ludhiana applicant gets the same statutory outcome as anywhere else in Punjab — what changes is the office that processes it and the state-level charges attached to it.
