Understanding IEM Part B

IEM Part B is the second stage of the Industrial Entrepreneur Memorandum filing process, submitted after your industrial unit has commenced commercial production.

What is IEM Part B?

IEM Part B is the second and final stage of the Industrial Entrepreneur Memorandum filing process. While Part A is filed before starting production, Part B is filed after the industrial unit has commenced commercial production.

The purpose of IEM Part B is to report the actual details of the industrial undertaking as implemented, including actual investment made, employment generated, and production achieved. This allows the government to compare the actual implementation against the proposed plans submitted in IEM Part A.

Filing IEM Part B completes your compliance requirements under the industrial policy framework and ensures that your manufacturing unit is fully recognized by the government authorities.

When to File IEM Part B?

  • After commencement of commercial production at your industrial unit
  • Ideally within 90 days of starting commercial production
  • When there are significant changes from the original plan submitted in IEM Part A
  • After achieving stable production levels that reflect your operational capacity
  • When seeking to access government incentives that require completed IEM filing
