RCMC is mandatory for exporters availing DGFT benefits under schemes like EPCG, Advance Authorization, RoDTEP, and for participating in export promotions through councils.
Each Export Promotion Council (EPC) or Commodity Board has specific rules, documents, and product categories. Incorrect application or delay can block DGFT benefits, export incentives, and trade participation.
We assist manufacturers, merchant exporters, and service exporters with registration, renewals, council selection, categorisation, and ongoing compliance.
New RCMC Registration:
Identify correct council (e.g., FIEO, APEDA, EPCES, CEPC, EEPC, CHEMEXCIL, TEXPROCIL, etc.) and file application with supporting documents.
Renewals & Validity Extension:
Timely renewal before expiry to prevent incentive claim delays.
Council Transfer or Change:
Shift membership when product line or export category changes.
Amendments & Modifications:
Business name changes, address updates, branch addition, IEC migration, or director changes.
DGFT Compliance:
Linking RCMC to DGFT profile and eligibility for export schemes.
RCMC is often required during DGFT applications, EPCG/Advance Authorization processing, export claims, consulate submissions, and participation in trade fairs. Missing or expired RCMC stalls applications and creates compliance issues.
We ensure your business is registered with the right Export Promotion Council.
Accurate filing minimises queries and delays.
Ensures smooth claim processing under DGFT schemes.
Maintain active membership required for audits and export promotion.
Quick updates for business changes, directors, or addresses.
We manage annual/periodic renewals to avoid lapses.
Analyse export product categories and identify the correct council (FIEO/APEDA/EEPC/etc.).
Collect and verify IEC details, MSME certificate, past exports, and company documents.
Submit registration/renewal on council portal with required declarations.
Coordinate with council officers and resolve queries until RCMC is issued.
Update RCMC in DGFT profile and maintain validity records for audits.
Timeline: Registration typically completes in 3–10 days depending on the council.

You must register with the council covering your primary export product. Wrong council leads to claim rejections and compliance gaps. For diversified exporters, we evaluate export mix and choose the most appropriate EPC.
Expired RCMC blocks DGFT benefits like RoDTEP, EPCG, Advance Authorisation and also delays incentive claims. Councils may ask for fresh documentation or late fees. Renewal on time avoids benefit loss and compliance issues during audits.
No. Manufacturers must submit factory documents and production proofs; merchant exporters submit sourcing details. Councils scrutinize manufacturer status more strictly because of scheme misuse risks.
In most cases yes. DGFT portals require active RCMC to apply for EPCG, AA, or status holder certificates. Missing RCMC delays approvals, especially when export benefits depend on council confirmation.
Yes. You can shift councils by providing new product details and export proof. But shifting carelessly can create compliance mismatches in DGFT records, so do it strategically.
