NVOCC Registration Requirement

What are the licenses required for a NVOCC Company in India ?

Are there any specific requirements for such companies ? Or it can operate under some other license.

 

Would appreciate your earliest reply.

Quick Summary
To operate as a Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) in India, companies must register with the Directorate General of Shipping as a Multimodal Transport Operator (MTO). This requires meeting specific financial criteria or providing a bank guarantee and having an office in India. Additional registrations include IEC, GST, and potentially Customs Broker licensing. The MTO registration process is now handled online through DG Shipping's e-Samudra portal.

Licences for an NVOCC:
• NVOCCs (non-vessel operating common carriers) in India must register with the Directorate General of Shipping (DG Shipping) as a Multimodal Transport Operator (MTO) under the Multimodal Transportation of Goods Act, 1993 (requirements: minimum net worth or a bank guarantee, and an office in India).
• Also: IEC (DGFT), GST registration, Customs registration (if acting as a customs broker, a separate CB licence), and membership in industry bodies for B/L recognition (e.g. FIATA).
• From 2023, the MTO registration process is online (DG Shipping e-Samudra).
