What Is an RCMC Certificate?
RCMC stands for Registration-cum-Membership Certificate.
An RCMC confirms that an exporter is a member of an approved trade body. This may be an Export Promotion Council, Commodity Board or Export Development Authority. The body must be approved under the Foreign Trade Policy.
Exporters usually get an RCMC from the authority that handles their main export product, service or business activity.
RCMC is not the same as an IEC.
An IEC identifies an importer or exporter. An RCMC confirms their membership in the right export-promotion body.
Who Issues RCMC?
RCMC is issued by a body approved by DGFT. You can get it from one of these bodies:
Export Promotion Council
Commodity Board
Export Development Authority
Federation of Indian Export Organisations
Other notified Registering Authority
DGFT offers a common online platform for e-RCMC applications. You submit your application through this system. The council or authority you choose checks your details and issues the certificate.
Dwarkadhish Overseas does not issue RCMC certificates. We help you select the right authority, prepare your documents and submit your application.
Is RCMC Mandatory for Every Exporter?
RCMC is not needed for every export shipment that is freely allowed.
It is usually needed when an exporter applies for:
DGFT authorisations
Export benefits
Concessions
Promotional assistance
Council-based facilities
Foreign Trade Policy schemes
RCMC may be needed for:
Advance Authorisation
EPCG Authorisation
Status Holder Certificate
Some export-promotion schemes
Product-specific export registrations
Trade fair participation
Buyer-seller meets
Market-development support
Council certificates and recommendations
The need for RCMC depends on the DGFT scheme, product and applicant type. Check the rules before you apply.
RCMC is not compulsory for every exporter in all cases.

Common Export Promotion Councils and Authorities
The exact current product jurisdiction must be verified before filing.
Export sector
Common Registering Authority
Engineering goods
Engineering Export Promotion Council
Readymade garments
Apparel Export Promotion Council
Handicrafts
Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts
Leather and footwear
Council for Leather Exports
Pharmaceuticals
Pharmexcil

Multi-product or uncovered products
FIEO where eligible
This table is indicative.
Council jurisdiction must be verified against the current product, ITC-HS code and DGFT-notified authority list.
When Can an Exporter Apply to FIEO?
An exporter may apply for FIEO registration if:
- No Export Promotion Council or Commodity Board covers its export products
- The exporter deals in many types of products
- Its main line of business is not yet clear
- The exporter meets FIEO's current rules
FIEO should not be used just to avoid joining a product-specific council.
If another council covers the exporter’s main business, the exporter should usually apply through that council.
Can an Exporter Hold More Than One RCMC?
An exporter should first get RCMC from the authority that covers its main export activity.
The exporter may also join other councils if:
- It has different product lines
- Its products fall under different council rules
- Separate product panels suit its business needs
- The councils allow these memberships
However, keep these points in mind:
- Your main line of business must be the same in all records
- Do not report the same export activity in different ways to different councils
- Having more than one RCMC does not mean you will get more DGFT benefits
Special Position of Spices and Coir Exporters
Some sectors have their own exporter registration. In these cases, this registration may also count as RCMC.
For example:
- The Spices Board registers exporters of spices
- The Coir Board registers exporters of coir and coir products
The rules may differ for each Board. Check with the relevant Board to confirm which certificate you need and how to apply.
RCMC Validity Period
An RCMC is usually valid for five financial years.
Its validity usually starts on 1 April of the year it is issued. It ends on 31 March after the five-year period.
Example
If an RCMC is issued in the 2026–27 financial year, its validity may start on 1 April 2026. It may end on 31 March after five financial years.
Always check the dates on your certificate.
Important distinction
If your RCMC is still valid but needs changes, you can usually apply for an amendment.
If your RCMC has expired and you need to continue using it, you may need to renew it.
RCMC Registration Online Process
The e-RCMC process is completed electronically through the DGFT portal.
Standard portal route
DGFT Login → Services → e-RCMC → Apply for e-RCMC
The same e-RCMC area provides services for:
- New registration
- Amendment
- Renewal
- Surrender
- Application tracking
- Certificate viewing
The exporter should not send a printed ANF 2C to a DGFT office merely because a reference form is available online.

Troubleshooting
Common RCMC Problems
Wrong Export Promotion Council selected
The selected council may not cover the exporter’s principal product.
Our approach: We review: Product description , ITC-HS code , Current turnover , Future export plans , Council jurisdiction, FIEO eligibility .
FIEO selected despite clear product jurisdiction
The exporter chooses FIEO even though a specialised council clearly covers the main product.
Our approach: We determine whether the exporter genuinely qualifies as multi-product or uncovered-product.
Main line of business is unclear
The exporter deals in several unrelated products.
Our approach: We compare: Current export turnover , Planned exports , Product range , ITC-HS jurisdiction , Existing council memberships , Dominant business line .
Incorrect ITC-HS code
A wrong classification can lead to incorrect council selection.
Our approach: We compare: Product composition, Technical description, Intended use, Present classification, Council coverage
DGFT IEC profile is outdated
The e-RCMC application may display: Old address, Old director, Closed branch, Incorrect GSTIN, Wrong contact information .
Our approach: We update or correct the IEC profile before the RCMC application.
Manufacturing evidence is insufficient
The council may not accept only a GST Certificate or Udyam Registration as manufacturing proof.
Our approach: We prepare a council-specific manufacturing-evidence checklist.
Payment succeeded but application remains incomplete
The applicant may have paid the fee but not completed signing or final submission.
Our approach: We verify: Payment transaction, Receipt, DSC or e-sign, Application status, Final submission.
Payment Failure
The payment gateway may not have sent a success response.
Our approach: We review the transaction and council or portal grievance process before making another payment.
Product or council is not visible
Some common causes are: The exporter category is incorrect, Product code is wrong, IEC profile is outdated, Council setting, Product jurisdiction, Portal issue.
Our approach: We verify the Product jurisdiction and the business category before raising any portal issue.
Application is marked deficient
The council may request: Corrected form, Additional documents, Revised CA certificate, Product licence, Export proof, Manufacturing evidence, Updated council fee, Authorised-person proof.
Our approach: We prepare a deficiency checklist and structured response.
Expired RCMC is not visible for renewal
Possible reasons include: Legacy certificate not migrated, IEC mismatch, Wrong DGFT login, Council-record mismatch, Certificate-status error.
Our approach:We reconcile the old certificate, IEC and current e-RCMC profile and determine whether renewal, migration or a fresh application is required.
Active RCMC requires renewal
An active certificate generally requires amendment for present changes. Renewal is normally relevant once the existing certificate has expired.
Ownership or legal constitution changed
An RCMC issued to one legal entity should not simply be used by another entity.
Our approach: We assess: PAN change, IEC change, Legal-entity continuity, Amendment eligibility, Surrender requirement, Fresh RCMC requirement.
