Requirement for Making E-MPS Payment

To make an E-MPS payment, the payee must have the following:

• Valid Import Export Code
• Class 2 or class 3 Digital Certificate with IEC embedded in it
• Personal Computer with web browser IE 11.0 or Higher version
• Good internet connectivity

Using E-MPS Payment

E-MPS payment can be used by importers and exporters for making online payment for miscellaneous purposes. E-MPS payment need not be used for import export code registration, as there is already an online payment facility for IE Code registration. For all other payments to the DGFT department, E-MPS payment can be used by an importer or exporter. Before making an E-MPS payment, the exporter or importer will generate an ECOM Reference Number and can make the single / multiple payments against it after selecting the appropriate subject, scheme, DGFT officer or other details. After making an E-MPS payment the applicant must print the receipt through print option and present it to the concerned DGFT RA authority along with the application for which he has made payment. On submission, DGFT official will authenticate the payment details using ECOM Reference Number and mark it as USED. In case of multiple payments on a single ECOM Reference Number, DGFT official needs to select all the payments one by one and mark them USED. A unique DGFT Reference Number will be generated for each payment detail which can be used by concerned DGFT office for reference purpose.
