RCMC requirement: manufacturer exporters need an RCMC to access certain export incentive schemes.
Possession of an IEC allows an entity to be described as a manufacturer exporter despite zero recent exports, but eligibility for incentive schemes like advance authorisations and EPCG requires a valid RCMC obtained under the Foreign Trade Policy, with payment of prescribed fees and recurring annual fee obligations and multi-year validity tied to the operative policy period.
