RCMC means the Registration Cum Membership Certificate issued by the Export Promotion Council or the Commodity Board. Any exporter intending to deal with the restricted goods are mandated to obtain the RCMC registration from the Export Promotion Council or the Commodity Board established in line with the products. The Certificate authenticates that an exporter dealing with a certain product is registered with a certain agency or authority authorised by the Government of India.

Benefits of APEDA registration

To gauge the income and expenditure of the business
To ensure a smooth and transparent business, every individual, firm or a corporation is required to know about the income and expenditure incurred or generated. This helps them to plan and strategize their financial resources and exploit them accordingly.
Timely access to operational information
Up to date records provide access to operational information to the management. Although business owner(s) or managers are not directly associated with all transactions, accounting and bookkeeping help them to keep an eye on all the transactions from time to time.
Regular reconciliation rationalise decisions
Accounting comes with the reconciliation of data periodically. Monthly or quarterly reconciliation helps management to analyze the beneficial or detrimental aspects of the business. Hence, futuristic decisions can be rationalized with the analysis of loss and profit.
Attract investors with accurate financials
Investing in any business would be followed only after complete analysis of business and its financial condition. While approaching investors, you need to make sure that your books of accounts are up-to-date and accurate. Inconsistency may refrain investors to jump into the business.
