What Is CAPEXIL RCMC?
A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.
A CAPEXIL RCMC is a certificate proving you are a registered member of CAPEXIL — the Chemical & Allied Export Promotion Council — for your product, the document that lets you claim Foreign Trade Policy benefits as a genuine exporter.
The CAPEXIL Registration-Cum-Membership Certificate is issued by CAPEXIL, an Export Promotion Council recognised by the DGFT under the Foreign Trade Policy. An exporter of CAPEXIL-covered goods must hold a valid RCMC from the correct council to avail FTP benefits and export incentives.
Issued by CAPEXIL (the Chemical & Allied Export Promotion Council) and administered under the DGFT, with the application made through the DGFT common digital platform.
A CAPEXIL RCMC is valid for 5 years from the date of issue and must be renewed thereafter to continue availing Foreign Trade Policy benefits.

Talk to an Expert →Why Is CAPEXIL RCMC Registration Required?
A CAPEXIL RCMC is the gateway to Foreign Trade Policy benefits for chemical & allied product exporters and formal recognition as an exporter. Here is why exporters register.
-
01
Claim FTP Benefits
A valid CAPEXIL RCMC is required to avail Foreign Trade Policy benefits and export incentives available to exporters of CAPEXIL-covered chemical and allied products.
-
02
Bona-Fide Exporter Status
The RCMC establishes you as a genuine, registered exporter — useful when dealing with overseas buyers, banks and government authorities.
-
03
CAPEXIL Membership
Registration makes you a member of CAPEXIL, with access to the council’s support, market information and export-promotion services for allied products.
-
04
FTP Compliance
Holding the correct RCMC keeps you compliant with the Foreign Trade Policy when applying for schemes and incentives tied to your exports.
-
05
Smooth Export Operations
Many export processes and benefit applications reference your RCMC, so having it in place avoids hold-ups down the line.
-
06
The Right Council for Allied Goods
CAPEXIL covers minerals, ceramics, stones, paints, plywood and rubber — not basic chemicals. Registering with CAPEXIL ensures your membership actually covers what you export.

What You’ll Receive
What Documents Are Required for CAPEXIL RCMC Registration?
Requirements are grouped by exporter identity, business & bank details and export details. Keep clear scans (PDF/JPG) ready — everything is collected securely online. Exact requirements can vary, so our team confirms the CAPEXIL checklist before filing.
Exporter Identity
IEC & basic KYC- Import Export Code (IEC) certificate
- PAN card of the business / individual
- Aadhaar / identity proof of the authorised signatory
- Passport-size photograph of the signatory
Business & Bank
Constitution & banking- Constitution proof — incorporation / partnership deed / registration
- GST registration certificate (if applicable)
- Cancelled cheque or bank certificate in the business name

Export Details
Product & CAPEXIL- List of CAPEXIL-covered products to be exported

A valid IEC is essential
CAPEXIL RCMC registration is for exporters, so a valid Import Export Code (IEC) from the DGFT is the starting point. We can arrange your IEC first if you do not have one.
CAPEXIL vs CHEMEXCIL — know the difference
CAPEXIL covers non-basic chemicals, minerals, ceramics, stones, paints, plywood and rubber; CHEMEXCIL covers basic chemicals, dyes and cosmetics. We verify your HS codes to file with the right council and avoid a wrong RCMC.
Product list must match exports
The products declared on the application should match what you actually export. An accurate CAPEXIL product list keeps your RCMC valid for the goods you ship.
Filed on the DGFT platform
The application is submitted through the DGFT common digital platform. Keep your registered email and mobile handy for verification.
