Service Definition

What is RCMC and Why is it Mandatory for Exporters?

RCMC (Registration Cum Membership Certificate) is important because it is the official proof that an exporter is registered with the relevant Export Promotion Council (EPC) or Commodity Board. It confirms the exporter’s eligibility to operate under the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) and is often required during export documentation and compliance processes.

A valid RCMC is mandatory for availing DGFT benefits such as Advance Authorisation, EPCG, RoDTEP, Status Holder benefits, and other export incentives. Without RCMC, exporters may not be able to apply for these schemes, claim government export benefits, or access various export promotion programs and industry support initiatives.

How We Work

Our Process

A clear step-by-step approach from initial enquiry to final delivery.

Product and EPC Analysis

We review your export product list, HS codes, and export volumes to identify the correct EPC(s) — ensuring you register with the council that has jurisdiction over your main export line.

Document Preparation

All required documents are compiled — IEC, GSTIN, CA certificate for export turnover, bank certificate from your banker, audited financial statements, and product list.

DGFT Portal Filing

ANF 2C application is filed on the DGFT online portal. Some EPCs also accept or require online filing directly on their own portal.

EPC Submission

EPC-specific membership forms, supporting documents, and membership fee are submitted to the relevant EPC office — online, physically, or both depending on the EPC.

RCMC Issuance

EPC processes the application and issues the RCMC certificate. We collect, verify the details, and provide the certificate to you.

Renewal Tracking

We maintain an RCMC expiry calendar and initiate renewal applications 45 days before expiry to prevent any gap in DGFT scheme eligibility.

Why CargoMate

Why Choose CargoMate?

Experienced, reliable, and focused on your specific requirements.

EPC Jurisdiction Knowledge

We know exactly which EPC has jurisdiction over which product categories — preventing wrong council applications that waste time and money.

Mandatory for Every DGFT Scheme

Without a valid RCMC, no DGFT scheme benefit can be availed. RCMC is the gateway to all of Advance Authorisation, EPCG, RoDTEP, and more.

Multiple EPC Management

Exporters with diverse product portfolios often need RCMC from 2-4 EPCs. We manage multiple EPC registrations simultaneously without gaps.

Established EPC Relationships

We regularly file applications with major EPCs — EEPC, Pharmexcil, APEDA, CHEMEXCIL, Spices Board — and know the specific requirements of each.

Proactive Renewal

An expired RCMC creates an immediate block on all DGFT scheme applications. We proactively track RCMC expiry across all EPCs and initiate renewal on time.

Both Portal and Physical

Some EPCs require DGFT portal filing only, some require their own portal, and some require physical submission. We know and handle both.

Common Questions

Clear answers about how CargoMate handles rcmc registration services.

Answers reflect general practice. Contact CargoMate for guidance specific to your requirements.

RCMC is a mandatory prerequisite for availing any benefit under India's Foreign Trade Policy (FTP). Without a valid RCMC, exporters cannot apply for Advance Authorisation, EPCG, RoDTEP claims, Status Holder benefits, or any other DGFT scheme. RCMC also registers the exporter as a member of their relevant Export Promotion Council, giving them access to EPC services.
Each product category falls under a specific EPC's jurisdiction: Engineering goods and machinery — EEPC India; Pharmaceuticals and medical devices — Pharmexcil; Agriculture and processed food — APEDA; Chemicals and cosmetics — CHEMEXCIL; Spices — Spices Board; Textiles — TEXPROCIL; Seafood — MPEDA. If your products span multiple categories, you need RCMC from each relevant EPC.
Yes, and it is sometimes necessary. If your export portfolio covers products falling under different EPC jurisdictions — for example, both pharmaceutical products (Pharmexcil) and engineering equipment (EEPC) — you must obtain separate RCMC from each relevant EPC. You can then apply for DGFT schemes for each product category using the respective RCMC.
RCMC validity varies by EPC — most EPCs issue RCMC valid for 3 years from the date of issuance, though some issue for 1 or 5 years. When RCMC expires, the exporter cannot file new DGFT applications or avail scheme benefits until renewal. Expired RCMC applications are rejected by DGFT. Renewal must be applied for before expiry.
Yes. Even first-time exporters with no export history can and must obtain RCMC. Most EPCs accept new exporters without requiring existing export turnover evidence. The bank certificate from your banker and company registration documents are the primary requirements for first-time RCMC applications.
