Why It Matters

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    Bona-Fide Exporter Status

    The RCMC establishes you as a genuine, registered exporter — useful when dealing with overseas buyers, banks and government authorities.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 05

    Smooth Export Operations

    Many export processes and benefit applications reference your RCMC, so having it in place avoids hold-ups down the line.

  6. 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.

Checklist

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.

Choose a document group

Exporter Identity

IEC & basic KYC
4 documents
  • Import Export Code (IEC) certificate
  • PAN card of the business / individual
  • Aadhaar / identity proof of the authorised signatory
  • Passport-size photograph of the signatory

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.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a CAPEXIL RCMC?
A CAPEXIL RCMC (Registration-Cum-Membership Certificate) is issued by CAPEXIL — the Chemical & Allied Export Promotion Council — a council recognised by the DGFT under the Foreign Trade Policy. It confirms that you are a registered member of CAPEXIL for your product and lets you avail Foreign Trade Policy benefits as a bona-fide exporter.
Which products does CAPEXIL cover?
CAPEXIL covers a wide range of chemical and allied products: minerals & ores, ceramics & refractories, cement & clinker, natural stones such as granite and marble, paints, plywood & panel products, books & publications, animal by-products, rubber products and other allied goods. It does not cover basic chemicals, dyes or cosmetics — those fall under CHEMEXCIL.
What is the difference between CAPEXIL and CHEMEXCIL?
CAPEXIL covers non-basic chemicals and allied products — minerals, ceramics, stones, paints, plywood and rubber — while CHEMEXCIL covers basic chemicals, dyes, intermediates and cosmetics. The correct council depends on your product’s HS code. We verify your codes before filing so your RCMC is issued by the right council.
Who needs a CAPEXIL RCMC?
Any exporter of CAPEXIL-covered goods who wants to avail Foreign Trade Policy benefits and export incentives, or to establish bona-fide exporter status, needs a CAPEXIL RCMC. It applies to manufacturer and merchant exporters of minerals, ceramics, stones, paints, plywood, rubber and other allied products.
Do I need an IEC before applying for a CAPEXIL RCMC?
Yes. RCMC registration is for exporters, so a valid Import Export Code (IEC) issued by the DGFT is the starting point. If you do not have an IEC yet, we can arrange it first and then proceed with the CAPEXIL RCMC application.
How long is a CAPEXIL RCMC valid?
A CAPEXIL RCMC is valid for 5 years from the date of issue. It must be renewed before expiry to continue availing Foreign Trade Policy benefits without a gap.
How is a CAPEXIL RCMC applied for?
The application is made online through the DGFT common digital platform, to CAPEXIL as the council relevant to your export product. We prepare the application, file it and handle any queries on your behalf.
What are FTP benefits and how does the CAPEXIL RCMC help?
Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) benefits are the incentives and schemes the government offers to promote exports. A valid CAPEXIL RCMC is generally required to avail these benefits for CAPEXIL-covered products and to be recognised as a bona-fide exporter.
Can one CAPEXIL RCMC cover multiple products?
A CAPEXIL RCMC can cover multiple products that all fall within CAPEXIL’s scope. If you also export goods handled by a different council, you may need a separate RCMC from that council too. We advise on the right approach for your product mix.
What documents are required for a CAPEXIL RCMC?
Typically your IEC certificate, PAN, identity proof of the authorised signatory, constitution proof, bank details and a list of the CAPEXIL-covered products you export with their HS codes — plus any council-specific documents. Our team confirms the exact CAPEXIL checklist before filing.
What is the difference between an IEC and a CAPEXIL RCMC?
An IEC (Import Export Code) is the basic code that permits you to import or export at all. A CAPEXIL RCMC is the membership certificate from CAPEXIL that lets you claim Foreign Trade Policy benefits on your allied-product exports. You generally need the IEC first, then the RCMC.
How much does CAPEXIL RCMC registration cost?
CAPEXIL membership fees are set by the council and are billed at actuals. Our professional fee is confirmed as a custom quote after a quick scope check, with no hidden charges.
Which council issues RCMC for minerals, ceramics and allied product exporters?
CAPEXIL — the Chemical & Allied Export Promotion Council — is the DGFT-recognised Export Promotion Council for minerals & ores, ceramics & refractories, natural stones such as granite and marble, paints, plywood & panel products, rubber and other allied goods. Basic chemicals, dyes and cosmetics fall under CHEMEXCIL instead.
How do I apply for CAPEXIL RCMC on the DGFT e-RCMC portal?
You log in to the DGFT common digital platform with your IEC-linked credentials, open the e-RCMC service, select CAPEXIL as the council, enter your product / HS details and upload the documents, then complete verification with the authorised signatory. The application is routed to CAPEXIL for approval. We handle this filing end to end.
What export benefits does a CAPEXIL RCMC unlock?
A valid RCMC lets you claim Foreign Trade Policy incentives such as RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products), Advance Authorisation, the EPCG scheme and duty exemptions on your CAPEXIL-covered exports. It also establishes bona-fide exporter status and gives access to CAPEXIL export-promotion services.
What are the CAPEXIL membership fees and renewal cost?
CAPEXIL charges a one-time registration fee plus an annual membership subscription, which varies by membership category and turnover slab and is billed at actuals by the council. Our professional fee is a separate custom quote confirmed upfront. On renewal after 5 years, the membership subscription applies again.
When does the 5-year CAPEXIL RCMC expire and how is it renewed?
A CAPEXIL RCMC is valid for 5 years and typically lapses on 31 March of the fifth financial year from issue. You renew it on the DGFT e-RCMC portal before expiry by confirming continued CAPEXIL membership and paying the applicable subscription, so your FTP benefits continue without a gap.
