Understanding RCMC & DGFT Licensing
RCMC is a mandatory certificate issued by Export Promotion Councils (EPCs) or Commodity Boards that validates an exporter's membership and enables access to government export schemes and benefits. The certificate is valid for **5 years** and is essential for availing export incentives like RODTEP, MEIS, and other promotional schemes.
DGFT licenses are special permits required for exporting restricted items that are not under the 'freely exportable' category. These licenses ensure compliance with government regulations and enable legal export of controlled goods while maintaining national security and regulatory oversight.
