Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) is a textile-sector remission scheme notified by Ministry of Textiles for ITC(HS) Chapters 61, 62 and 63. RoSCTL rates are higher than RoDTEP for these chapters and the two schemes are mutually exclusive on each shipping bill. AEPC RCMC is the typical credential for RoSCTL claims. Exporter must elect RoSCTL or RoDTEP on each shipping bill — once flagged, switch is not permitted post-export.

FIEO (Federation of Indian Export Organisations) issues RCMC to multi-product exporters, service exporters, and those whose product has no dedicated council. Product-specific bodies like EEPC, AEPC or APEDA cover a defined commodity range. You choose the council matching your principal export line of business.
Yes. Service exporters, such as IT, software, consulting and tourism providers, can obtain RCMC from the Services Export Promotion Council (SEPC) or FIEO. RCMC lets them access promotional support and, where notified, claim eligible service-export benefits under the Foreign Trade Policy.
You can still export physically, but you forfeit scheme benefits. DGFT will not issue Advance Authorisation or EPCG licences, RoDTEP and RoSCTL claims tied to the shipping bill can be blocked, and you cannot access council-run promotional schemes, market access support or trade-fair subsidies.
Not necessarily. Your primary RCMC is with the council for your main line of business. You can also seek registration with additional councils for other product lines, or list them as secondary products. Multi-product exporters often take FIEO membership to cover diverse goods.
The government platform charges no statutory fee, but each council levies its own membership or subscription charge, usually a few thousand rupees a year depending on turnover and membership category. Professional assistance for document preparation and filing in {{area_name}} is charged separately by consultants.
RCMC (Registration-cum-Membership Certificate) is proof that an exporter is registered with a relevant Export Promotion Council, Commodity Board or FIEO. Issued under the Foreign Trade Policy 2023, it is mandatory to claim export benefits like RoDTEP, Advance Authorisation or EPCG and to avail council services.

Reading this guide locally — Chintadripet businesses operate where in the old commercial enclave with legal and wholesale activity micro-market of Chintadripet.
The Registration-cum-Membership Certificate, or RCMC, is the document that formally links an Indian exporter to an Export Promotion Council, Commodity Board or the Federation of Indian Export Organisations. Issued under Chapter 2 of the Foreign Trade Policy 2023 and detailed in the Handbook of Procedures, it certifies that the exporter is registered with the authority competent for its main line of business. The RCMC is not a licence to export goods; a valid Importer-Exporter Code already permits that. Instead, it is the key that unlocks the incentive architecture of the Foreign Trade Policy. Without a subsisting RCMC, an exporter cannot be granted an Advance Authorisation or EPCG licence, and duty-remission benefits such as RoDTEP and RoSCTL that flow through the shipping bill can be denied. For a Chennai exporter, choosing the correct council at the outset, and naming the right main line of business, is therefore a strategic decision that shapes every benefit claim for the next five years.
RCMC applications are now fully digital. The DGFT common digital platform at dgft.gov.in hosts an e-RCMC module through which issuance, amendment and renewal are handled for all registering authorities in one place. The exporter logs in using its IEC credentials, selects the relevant council, and completes application form ANF 2C. The form draws firm particulars from the IEC record, so the IEC must be active and its details, including branch addresses and the nature of the concern, must be current. Supporting documents typically include the IEC, PAN, GST registration, a self-certified declaration of the main line of business, and evidence of exports where applicable; manufacturer exporters may add an industrial or MSME registration. The council fee is paid online, after which the chosen authority verifies the application and issues the certificate digitally. Because the platform is common across authorities, an exporter can also apply to more than one council for different product lines through the same login, which simplifies multi-council registration for diversified Chennai exporters.
An RCMC is valid for five financial years, running from 1st April of the licensing year in which it is issued to 31st March of the fifth year. This fixed cycle means the calendar, not the issue date, governs expiry, so an exporter should track the final 31st March carefully and renew through the e-RCMC module before that date to avoid any interruption in benefit claims. Renewal is not the only maintenance obligation. Whenever the exporter adds a new product line, changes its main line of business, alters its constitution, or updates address and contact details, the RCMC must be amended so that it continues to mirror the IEC and the actual shipping bills. A stale RCMC is a common and avoidable cause of blocked RoDTEP transmission and rejected authorisation applications, because DGFT and customs systems test the live certificate against the export declaration. Treating renewal and amendment as routine compliance, rather than a last-minute task, protects the exporter's entire benefit pipeline.
The commercial value of an RCMC lies in the incentives it unlocks. The Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme and the Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) scheme for apparel and made-ups both refund embedded taxes through duty-credit scrips generated against the shipping bill, and both are conditional on the exporter holding a valid RCMC. The Advance Authorisation scheme, which allows duty-free import of inputs against an export obligation, and the EPCG scheme, which permits concessional import of capital goods, are administered by DGFT and will not be granted without a subsisting RCMC. Beyond duty schemes, councils channel promotional support such as Market Access Initiative reimbursements, trade-fair participation and buyer-seller meets, all reserved for members. For a Chennai exporter weighing the modest council fee against these benefits, the arithmetic is decisive: the RCMC typically pays for itself many times over through a single RoDTEP or RoSCTL cycle, provided the certificate is valid and correctly matched to the products being shipped.

“Run an auto-component unit at Sriperumbudur exporting forged parts. FilingPro mapped my products to EEPC India under Appendix 2T, filed e-RCMC on the DGFT Common Digital Platform, and configured RoDTEP claim flag on ICEGATE. First quarter alone I received ₹4.8 lakh of RoDTEP scrip — money I would have left on the table.”
“Tirupur knitwear exporter. Was on RoDTEP but FilingPro showed me RoSCTL on Chapters 61-63 was higher. Switched my AEPC RCMC to active claim and elected RoSCTL on shipping bills. Net rebate jumped 1.4 percentage points on FOB. Real money on a ₹6 crore annual export book.”
“Marine exporter from Tuticorin. MPEDA RCMC was lapsed for 7 months — RoDTEP scrips were getting blocked. FilingPro renewed the RCMC, refiled the affected shipping bills under Customs amendment route and recovered ₹3.1 lakh of held-up scrip. Annual IEC update is now on autopilot.”
“Started exporting cashew kernels to Middle East from Cuddalore. FilingPro registered me with CEPCI (Cashew Export Promotion Council), got me FIEO general RCMC as well for cross-recognition, and set up Advance Authorisation for duty-free RCN imports. Saved 12% on landed cost of raw nuts.”
“Pump manufacturer in Coimbatore. Wanted to import a CNC machining centre under EPCG. FilingPro filed EEPC RCMC, then EPCG Authorisation on dgft.gov.in for ₹1.2 crore duty saving against 6× export obligation in 6 years. Coordinated bond and bank guarantee at Tuticorin Customs. Capital cost slashed.”
“Multi-product exporter — handicrafts + leather + spices. Was confused between EPCH, CLE and Spices Board. FilingPro structured FIEO general RCMC + EPCH for handicrafts and ran the leather and spices through FIEO. Status Holder One Star application is in motion now that turnover crossed USD 3 mn. Clear roadmap.”
