What Is GJEPC RCMC Registration?
A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.
GJEPC RCMC is a Registration-cum-Membership Certificate from the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council that identifies you as a registered gems & jewellery exporter and unlocks FTP export benefits.
An RCMC is issued by an Export Promotion Council recognised by the DGFT under the Foreign Trade Policy. For the gems & jewellery sector, GJEPC is that council; the certificate is required to avail benefits or concessions under the FTP for gems, jewellery, diamonds and precious/synthetic stones.
Membership and the RCMC are administered by GJEPC (under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry). The application is filed on the DGFT common digital platform, which routes it to the council for approval.
An RCMC issued by an Export Promotion Council is valid for five years from the date of issue, subject to the council’s membership conditions.

What You’ll Receive
What Documents Are Required for GJEPC RCMC?
Requirements are grouped by business/IEC, signatory KYC and address/bank proof. GJEPC applies strict KYC given the high-value nature of gems & jewellery — keep clear scans (PDF/JPG) ready. Everything is collected securely online.
Business & IEC
Entity & export code- Valid Importer-Exporter Code (IEC)
- PAN of the business entity
- Certificate of Incorporation / partnership deed / registration proof
- GST registration certificate (where applicable)
KYC & Signatory
Authorised signatory KYC- PAN & Aadhaar of the authorised signatory
- Passport of the signatory (KYC for the gems trade)
- Passport-size photograph
- Board resolution / authorisation letter appointing the signatory
Address & Bank
Office & bank proof- Registered-office address proof (utility bill / rent agreement + NOC)
- Bank statement / cancelled cheque in the business name
- Firm / company profile
- Stock or trade proof for the gems & jewellery line, if requested
A valid IEC is a prerequisite
RCMC is issued only to holders of a valid Importer-Exporter Code. If you don’t have one yet, we can arrange the IEC first.
KYC is stricter for gems
Because of the high value and anti-money-laundering focus of the trade, GJEPC requires a thorough KYC package — PAN, Aadhaar, passport and firm profile — done correctly to prevent rejection.
Address proof must be recent
The utility bill or rent agreement used as address proof should be recent. Rented premises need the agreement plus the owner’s NOC.
Bank proof in the business name
A cancelled cheque or bank statement showing the account holder’s name, IFSC and account number — in the business’s name.

|---|---|
| Consultation, document & KYC collection | 1–2 working days |
| KYC preparation + application on DGFT platform | 2–5 working days |

Overall time depends on GJEPC’s KYC verification and council processing, which can be more detailed for the gems & jewellery sector. A valid IEC and a complete KYC package speed this up; queries pause the clock until you respond. Once issued, the RCMC is valid for 5 years.
