An EEPC India RCMC (Registration-cum-Membership Certificate) is issued by EEPC India — the Engineering Export Promotion Council, an Export Promotion Council recognised by DGFT under the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP). It is the correct RCMC for exporters of engineering goods — machinery, machine tools, iron & steel, auto components, electricals, industrial machinery, hand tools, pumps and other engineering products. A valid RCMC is required to access FTP export benefits, and the application is made through the DGFT common digital platform. The certificate is valid for 5 years, and a valid IEC is a prerequisite.

Understand It

What Is EEPC RCMC Registration?

A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.

In simple terms

An EEPC India RCMC is your Registration-cum-Membership Certificate as an engineering exporter — it identifies EEPC India as your Export Promotion Council and is the document DGFT and buyers look for to confirm you are a registered exporter.

Legally

Under the Foreign Trade Policy, an exporter seeking export benefits or concessions must register with the Export Promotion Council relevant to their main line of business. For engineering goods, that council is EEPC India, and the RCMC is issued in that capacity.

Governing authority

EEPC India (the Engineering Export Promotion Council) is an EPC recognised by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). The RCMC application is filed on the DGFT common digital platform.

Validity

An RCMC issued through the DGFT common digital platform is valid for five years. It stays valid as long as your registered particulars are kept current with the council.

Why It Matters

Why Is an EEPC India RCMC Required?

Engineering exporters need the correct RCMC to unlock Foreign Trade Policy benefits and to trade credibly. Here is why it matters.

  1. 01

    Unlock FTP Export Benefits

    A valid RCMC is required to claim benefits under the Foreign Trade Policy — RoDTEP, EPCG and Advance Authorisation among them. Without it, your shipping bills cannot be linked to these schemes.

  2. 02

    Register With the Correct EPC

    DGFT expects exporters to register with the product-specific council. For engineering goods under HS Ch. 72–89, that council is EEPC India — not a residual or unrelated EPC.

  3. 03

    Access Global Trade Promotion

    EEPC India members access buyer-seller meets, international trade fairs and market-development support that help engineering exporters reach global buyers.

  4. 04

    Build Buyer & Bank Trust

    Overseas buyers and banks often ask for a valid RCMC during KYC and verification. It signals that you are a recognised, registered exporter.

  5. 05

    Smoother Export Documentation

    A current RCMC keeps your DGFT profile and export documentation in order, reducing friction on incentive claims and shipments.

  6. 06

    Stay Compliant

    Registering with the right council and keeping the RCMC current keeps your export benefits protected and your compliance clean.

Requirements are grouped by your export identity, entity type and engineering profile. Keep clear scans (PDF/JPG) ready — everything is collected securely over WhatsApp or email, with zero office visits.

Choose a document group

Business & IEC

Core export identity
4 documents
  • Valid Import Export Code (IEC) certificate
  • PAN card of the business entity
  • GST registration certificate
  • Cancelled cheque / bank certificate of the business account

IEC is a prerequisite

You need a valid IEC before an RCMC can be issued. If you do not have one yet, we can arrange your IEC first, then the RCMC.

Register with the right EPC

Engineering goods exporters (HS Ch. 72–89) should register with EEPC India, the product-specific council. We verify your HS codes so you apply to the correct EPC.

Manufacturer vs merchant

Both manufacturer-exporters and merchant-exporters can register. Traders provide a business profile and product list in place of a manufacturing certificate.

Filed on the DGFT platform

The application is submitted through the DGFT common digital platform, so accurate IEC-linked details and a signatory are essential.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an EEPC India RCMC?
An EEPC India RCMC is a Registration-cum-Membership Certificate issued by EEPC India — the Engineering Export Promotion Council — which is an Export Promotion Council recognised by DGFT under the Foreign Trade Policy. It identifies EEPC India as your council as an engineering goods exporter and lets you access FTP export benefits.
Who must register with EEPC India?
Any manufacturer-exporter or merchant-exporter whose main line of business is engineering goods — machinery, machine tools, iron & steel, auto components, electricals, industrial machinery, hand tools, pumps and other engineering products (broadly HS Chapters 72–89) — should register with EEPC India as their RCMC council.
What is the validity of an EEPC RCMC?
An RCMC issued through the DGFT common digital platform is valid for five years. It remains valid as long as your registered particulars are kept current, so there is no annual renewal to worry about.
Do I need an IEC before applying for an EEPC RCMC?
Yes. A valid Import Export Code (IEC) is a prerequisite for RCMC registration. If you do not have an IEC yet, TaxClue can arrange it first and then proceed with the RCMC application.
How is the EEPC RCMC applied for?
The application is made online through the DGFT common digital platform, linked to your IEC. TaxClue verifies your correct council, prepares the membership and RCMC application, files it on the DGFT platform and handles any queries.
Can a trader (non-manufacturer) get an EEPC RCMC?
Yes. Both manufacturer-exporters and merchant-exporters / trading houses dealing in engineering goods can register with EEPC India. The documentation is similar; traders provide a business profile and product list in place of a manufacturing certificate.
Is EEPC RCMC required for auto component exporters?
Yes. Auto components, castings, forgings, stampings and auto ancillary products are engineering goods covered by EEPC India. Exporters of these products should register with EEPC India as their council.
What FTP benefits does an EEPC RCMC unlock?
A valid RCMC is required to access Foreign Trade Policy export benefits such as RoDTEP, EPCG and Advance Authorisation. Without a valid RCMC, your shipping bills cannot be linked to these incentive schemes.
Which products fall under EEPC India?
EEPC India — the largest Export Promotion Council — covers engineering goods: machinery and equipment, iron & steel, auto components, electricals, industrial machinery, hand tools, pumps and other engineering products, broadly falling under HS Chapters 72 to 89.
Can TaxClue help with EEPC RCMC renewal?
Yes. Although the RCMC is valid for five years, TaxClue tracks your validity, sends reminders before expiry, prepares the renewal application on the DGFT platform and delivers the updated certificate — so your RCMC never lapses.
How long does EEPC RCMC registration take?
Once your documents are complete, TaxClue prepares and files the application on the DGFT common digital platform promptly. Processing time then depends on EEPC India / DGFT. We pre-check every document to avoid rejection delays and keep you updated at each stage.
What if I export both engineering and non-engineering goods?
If engineering goods are your main line of business, EEPC India is your council. Where products span multiple categories, TaxClue reviews your HS codes and advises the correct EPC (or additional registration) so your benefits are not put at risk.
How do I apply for an EEPC India RCMC on the DGFT e-RCMC portal?
You log in to the DGFT common digital platform (dgft.gov.in) with your IEC-linked account, open the e-RCMC service, select EEPC India as your Export Promotion Council, enter your engineering products and HS codes (Ch. 72–89), upload the documents and e-verify with a DSC. The application is routed to EEPC India for processing. We verify your HS codes and file the full application for you.
What is the difference between an IEC and an EEPC RCMC?
The IEC (Import Export Code) is the 10-digit DGFT registration that permits you to export at all. The EEPC India RCMC is a Registration-Cum-Membership Certificate that makes you a recognised council member for engineering goods and is required to claim Foreign Trade Policy benefits. You obtain the IEC first, then the RCMC.
When does an EEPC India RCMC expire and how do I renew it?
An RCMC issued on the DGFT platform is valid for 5 years — up to 31 March of the fifth financial year from issue. You renew it before it lapses by re-confirming your product list and HS codes and re-filing on the DGFT e-RCMC portal, and by refreshing your EEPC India membership. We send reminders before expiry so it never lapses.
How do RoDTEP, EPCG and Advance Authorisation link to my EEPC RCMC?
A valid RCMC is the prerequisite that lets you claim these Foreign Trade Policy schemes — RoDTEP remits duties and taxes on your exported engineering goods, Advance Authorisation allows duty-free import of inputs, and EPCG allows duty-free import of capital goods. Without a current RCMC your shipping bills cannot be linked to these incentives.
Do hand-tool and hardware exporters register with EEPC India?
Yes. Hand tools, power tools, hardware, fasteners and cutlery are engineering goods covered by EEPC India. Exporters of these products register with EEPC India for their RCMC, provided their HS codes fall under the council (broadly Chapters 72–89) and they hold a valid IEC.
Can I hold an EEPC RCMC alongside another council RCMC?
Yes. Where you export engineering goods plus products that fall under a different Export Promotion Council, you can hold an EEPC India RCMC for the engineering goods and a separate RCMC for the other products. We review your HS codes and advise the right combination so all your benefit claims are protected.
