Trade Notice No. 17/2019-20
New Delhi, Dated 22nd May, 2019
To
1. RAs of DGFT
2. Members of Trade
Subject:
Discontinuing submission of physical copy of RCMCs with effect from 1.07.2019
while filling application for incentives/entitlements under FTP and further
clarification in the matter.
In order to improve ease of doing
business and reduce transaction cost, vide
Trade Notice No.12 dated 13.05.2019, requirement
of physical copy of RCMC has been dispensed with from 1.07.2019 and it was
decided that the validity of RCMCs will be checked directly from the DGFT’s
database as uploaded and updated from time to time by various EPCs. DGFT has
already provided the facility for exporters to check status of uploading of
their RCMCs by their respective EPCs on DGFT’s website which may be assessed at
dgft.delhi.nic.in:8100/RCMCproj/rcmcCheck_input.isp.
2. Further, many
times questions arise with regard to appropriateness of EPCs issuing RCMCs under
para 2.56 of FTP read with 2.94 of HBP. In this regard, it is clarified that:
(i) An entity requires only one RCMC from its relevant EPC as per
Appendix-2T. It can keep on adding any number of businesses afterwards and RCMCs
from other EPCs will be optional only.
(ii) If an entity, having RCMC for
goods from a particular EPC/FIEO, exports services subsequently, there is no
need to obtain second RCMC from SEPC(membership with SEPC in such a case is
merely optional).
