What Is AnRCMC Registration?
The Registration Cum Membership Certificate (RCMC) is an official authorization granted by India’s Export Promotion Councils (EPCs), the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO), or other export-related authorities under the Foreign Trade Policy. It serves as proof that a business is a recognized exporter in its specific product or service category. Holding an RCMC is mandatory for exporters who wish to avail benefits under government schemes such as MEIS (Merchandise Exports from India Scheme), EPCG (Export Promotion Capital Goods), Duty Drawback, and other export incentives.
Each product category — such as textiles, gems, engineering goods, agriculture, or services — falls under a designated Export Promotion Council. Exporters must register with the council that governs their sector to receive an RCMC. The certificate validates your business as a trusted and compliant exporter, helping you participate in international trade fairs, secure customs clearances, and access exclusive government incentives.
