What is the validity of an RCMC certificate?

An RCMC is generally valid for 5 financial years (ending March 31 of the fifth year). However, you must pay an annual membership renewal fee to the issuing council before March 31st every year to keep your registration active.

Is IEC mandatory for RCMC registration?

Yes. You cannot apply for an RCMC without an active Import Export Code (IEC) issued by the DGFT. Additionally, your IEC profile must be fully updated on the DGFT portal before applying.

What happens if I export multiple products across different categories?

If your products fall under multiple councils (e.g., engineering goods and agricultural products) and you don't have a single dominant product line, FylFlix will help you register with FIEO (Federation of Indian Export Organisations), which acts as the umbrella body for multi-product exporters.

Are the government fees included in the FylFlix plan?

No. The EPC and FIEO membership fees vary drastically (from ₹5,000 for APEDA up to ₹93,750 for Star Export Houses under FIEO). You will pay this official fee directly to the government/council during the DGFT filing process. FylFlix's pricing covers professional advisory, drafting, and portal filing.

What is the difference between a Merchant and Manufacturer Exporter?

A Merchant Exporter buys goods from domestic manufacturers and exports them. A Manufacturer Exporter produces the goods in their own facility. Manufacturer Exporters need additional proofs like MSME/Udyam or IEM to get a manufacturer-specific RCMC, which unlocks specialized incentives.

How long does it take FylFlix to get the RCMC approved?

Once all documents are uploaded to the FylFlix vault and the EPC government fee is paid, the council usually takes 7 to 15 working days to issue the certificate. Our team ensures zero delays by drafting error-free applications.
