Exim Matters: Performance and not compulsion should bring members to EPCs
The government has raised the RCMC exemption limit for small-value export consignments from ₹10,000 to ₹3 lakh. RCMC means Registration Cum Membership Certificate. This cuts paperwork for small exporters. However, exporters must still join an Export Promotion Council to claim Foreign Trade Policy benefits, and that compulsion needs a wider review. So check whether your next shipment qualifies.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The government has raised the RCMC exemption threshold for small-value export consignments from ₹10,000 to ₹3 lakh.
- The higher threshold eases compliance work for small exporters.
- Compulsory EPC membership for accessing Foreign Trade Policy benefits deserves a wider review.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you are a small exporter, check with your Export Promotion Council or a tax professional whether your consignment value now falls within the raised ₹3 lakh RCMC exemption before you apply.
