Under para 2.55 & 2.56 of FTP read with paras 2.91 – 2.95 of HBP, 2015-20, Export Promotion Councils (EPCs) have been issuing RCMCs to its members. In view of the current situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, exporters may find it difficult to get re-validations of their RCMCs from their respective councils.

2. In view of the above, it has been decided that Regional Authorities (RAs) of DGFT will not insist on valid RCMC (in cases where the same has expired on or before 31 March, 2020) from the applicants for any incentive/authorizations till 30 September,

3. EPCs will collect the applicable fees for the year 2020-21 on restoration of normalcy.

This issues with the approval of the competent authority.
