What Is EEPC RCMC Registration?
A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Talk to an Expert →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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
05
Smoother Export Documentation
A current RCMC keeps your DGFT profile and export documentation in order, reducing friction on incentive claims and shipments.
-
06
Stay Compliant
Registering with the right council and keeping the RCMC current keeps your export benefits protected and your compliance clean.

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.
