Coir Board RCMC in brief
Who it applies to, what it costs, how long it takes and which law governs it — before the details.
An RCMC (Registration-cum-Membership Certificate) from the Coir Board — the commodity board for coir under the Ministry of MSME, recognised by DGFT under the Foreign Trade Policy — is what exporters of coir fibre, yarn, mats, matting, rugs, geotextiles, coir pith and rope use to export and avail FTP benefits. It is applied through the DGFT common digital platform, requires a valid IEC, and is valid for 5 years.

What Is Coir Board RCMC?
A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.
A Coir Board RCMC certifies that you are a registered exporter member of the Coir Board — the commodity board for coir — so you can export coir products and avail benefits under the Foreign Trade Policy.
Under the Foreign Trade Policy, an exporter seeking authorisations or benefits must register with the relevant Export Promotion Council or commodity board and obtain a Registration-cum-Membership Certificate (RCMC). For coir and coir products, the designated body is the Coir Board.
The Coir Board functions under the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) and is recognised by the DGFT for issuing RCMCs. Applications are made through the DGFT common digital platform.
An RCMC is valid for five years from the financial year in which it is issued, subject to the exporter continuing to meet the conditions of the Foreign Trade Policy.

A valid IEC comes first
An Import Export Code from DGFT is a mandatory prerequisite for an RCMC. If you do not have one yet, we can arrange the IEC before the RCMC application.
Coir Board is the right body
For coir and coir products — fibre, yarn, mats, matting, geotextiles, coir pith and rope — the Coir Board is your commodity board. Other products register with a different Export Promotion Council.
Signatory authorisation
Companies and firms should keep a board resolution or authorisation letter naming the person who will file on the DGFT platform.
Bank proof in entity name
A cancelled cheque or bank certificate showing the account in the business’s name supports the application and future benefit claims.
