Do I need to register for IEC code or can I just use GSTIN number?
Below memo states that I can use GSTIN number but it is confusing that whether I still need to register with DGFT for IEC to consider my PAN number as IEC?

Sir, As GSTIN itself is pan base number, you do not require to register with DGFT. which clear from the para 2 of the said TN. Moreover

N would be the key identifier. DGFT in its Trade Notice No. 09, dated 12-6-2017 has stated that PAN would be the Import Export Code (IEC). However, while PAN is identifier at the entity level, GSTIN would be used as identifier at the transaction level for every import and export. Further, in scenarios where GSTIN is not applicable, UIN or PAN would be accepted as IEC. It is advised that all importers need to quote GSTIN in their Bills of Entry in addition to IEC. In due course of time IEC would be replaced by PAN/GSTIN.
