TEXPROCIL RCMC Registration (Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council)
Mandatory export registration and RCMC for exporting cotton raw yarns, woven fabrics, and made-up home textiles.
Overview
The Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council (TEXPROCIL), established in 1954 under the Ministry of Textiles, is India’s premier dedicated export promotion council for cotton yarns, cotton fabrics, and cotton made-up home textiles. India is the world’s second-largest producer of cotton, and TEXPROCIL represents the international face of the Indian cotton textile value chain. Under Chapter 2 of the Foreign Trade Policy, holding a valid TEXPROCIL Registration Cum Membership Certificate (RCMC) is a non-negotiable statutory requirement for any business enterprise exporting raw cotton yarn, grey fabric, bleached and dyed cotton cloth, denim, terry towels, bedsheets, and household cotton furnishings. Holding a TEXPROCIL RCMC is essential to claim benefits under export promotion schemes, including the Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL), RoDTEP, Duty Drawback, and Advance Authorisation for duty-free dye and chemical imports. Member exporters receive market intelligence reports, buyer dispute conciliation, and subsidized participation in premier international textile trade fairs like Heimtextil Frankfurt and Premiere Vision Paris. JRC Legal manages complete TEXPROCIL registration on the DGFT e-RCMC portal.
