Export Incentive Prerequisite

RCMC Registration.

Registration-cum-Membership Certificate (RCMC) is mandatory for every Indian exporter who wishes to claim benefits under the Foreign Trade Policy — including MEIS, RoSCTL, Advance Authorisation, EPCG, and more.

What is RCMC?

RCMC is issued by the respective Export Promotion Council (EPC) or Commodity Board relevant to your export product. It is a two-in-one certificate — it simultaneously registers you as a member of the EPC and authorises you to claim government export incentives under FTP.

Without a valid RCMC, your export benefit claims under Advance Authorisation, EPCG or any FTP incentive scheme will be rejected by DGFT. It is non-negotiable for serious exporters.

Who Needs RCMC?

Any Indian entity that has a valid IEC and exports goods/services
Exporters claiming duty drawback, MEIS, or RoSCTL benefits
Businesses applying for Advance Authorisation or EPCG Licence
Service exporters seeking SEIS (Service Exports from India Scheme)
Importers of restricted goods covered under FTP conditions
Manufacturers exporting under any government export promotion scheme

Important Note

An exporter with products spanning multiple categories may need RCMCs from more than one Export Promotion Council. We assess your export portfolio and advise on the correct councils to register with.

RCMC Board — Council Directory.

The issuing authority for RCMC depends on your primary export product. Select the right council with our guidance.

  • 4

    Online application

    Filing on the respective council's portal / DGFT common platform.

  • 5

    Fee payment
