Export Promotion Council Registration for residential units around DAV School, Nerkundram Pathai — on fixed, transparent fees
for the professional and salaried population of Nerkundram Pathai navigating personal-tax and home-office GST by qualified experts with a 15+ year, zero-penalty record. Call 9566-068-468.
Letter of Undertaking under Rule 96A of the CGST Rules 2017 (in Form GST RFD-11) permits export of goods or services without payment of IGST. The alternate route under Rule 96 is to pay IGST and claim refund — with the shipping bill itself treated as the refund application. RCMC is not a precondition for LUT but is required to claim FTP-linked benefits on the same shipping bill. Most exporters in Chennai operate LUT + RCMC + RoDTEP simultaneously for clean tax-free export with incentive layer.

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.
You register with the council covering your main export line. Engineering firms join EEPC India, garment exporters AEPC, agri and processed food APEDA, chemicals CHEMEXCIL, pharma Pharmexcil, and multi-product or service exporters FIEO. Commodity Boards cover spices, tea, coffee, rubber and tobacco.
Yes. A valid RCMC is a precondition to claim scheme benefits under the Foreign Trade Policy 2023, including RoDTEP, RoSCTL, Advance Authorisation and EPCG. Without RCMC the DGFT system will not process authorisations, and duty-credit or remission claims linked to the shipping bill can be denied.
Yes. A valid Importer-Exporter Code (IEC) issued by DGFT is a prerequisite. The RCMC application draws your firm details and main line of business from the IEC record, so the IEC must be active and correctly updated before you file ANF 2C on the DGFT portal.

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.
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.
Several recurring errors turn a routine registration into a costly problem. The most frequent is registering with the wrong council, for example an apparel exporter taking a cotton-textile RCMC and then finding RoSCTL claims rejected. The second is a narrow or outdated main line of business, where the RCMC no longer covers newly added products and authorisation applications fail validation. The third is letting the five-year certificate lapse, which silently blocks RoDTEP transmission until renewal, with no facility to back-claim benefits for the intervening exports. A fourth, more serious, error is misdeclaring the line of business to fit a particular council; misrepresentation to obtain RCMC or scheme benefits can attract penalty under Section 11 of the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992, along with recovery of benefits and, in serious cases, IEC action. Avoiding these pitfalls is straightforward: map your export HS codes to the correct council before filing, keep the RCMC product scope aligned with your IEC and shipping bills, diarise the expiry date, and amend the certificate promptly whenever your export profile changes.

“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.”

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.

Clear roadmap.”
