What Is RCMC & Who Needs It?
The RCMC (Registration-cum-Membership Certificate) is a mandatory authorization for exporters dealing with restricted or regulated products under India’s Foreign Trade Policy (FTP). It is issued by Export Promotion Councils (EPCs), Commodity Boards, or Export Development Authorities that are recognised by the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT).
In addition to authorising the export or import of restricted goods, the RCMC also serves as proof of membership with the relevant council or authority. This certificate is essential for availing export incentives, concessions, and benefits under the FTP.
CA India offers end-to-end assistance for RCMC registration online, ensuring quick filing through the DGFT e-RCMC platform with complete compliance support.
