Professional work, government charges and optional services. All set out in writing before we begin.

FROM FIRST CONVERSATION TO HANDOVER
We prepare, coordinate and track the agreed work. You stay involved in the decisions that matter.
Separate membership work from other certificates.
Flag differences between the application and supporting records.
Prepare the agreed particulars and cost breakdown.
List what was submitted, issued or queried for each task.
Preparation and the council's decision are different stages. An older circular's processing target is not a promise for today's application; agree the included follow-up and dependencies.
KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU STAND
The written engagement confirms your deliverables and costs before work starts.

Talk to our teamThe 2026-27 circular describes both DGFT filing/payment and a council-member data submission. Track them separately.

For the current renewal's nil-export case, the circular says to report NIL and does not require that export certificate. This is not a blanket exemption from other evidence.
References: CLE: membership renewal for 2026-27
CLE's current notice makes the RCMC position subject to renewal each financial year. Retain both the certificate and annual membership evidence.

Use it only to prepare the discussion. Confirm the operative form, evidence period and any physical-document requirement before filing; old deadlines are not automatically current.

Do not describe a membership record as a quality endorsement. Clarify any testing, buyer-standard or product-certificate requirement as a separate task.
The exact query, original application, payment reference and the record that needs correction. Avoid filing again until the existing matter and response route are understood.
THE DETAIL, WHEN YOU NEED IT
Council for Leather Exports registration is a membership and exporter-record task, not a guarantee of product quality or buyer acceptance. For an existing member, plan both the e-RCMC renewal and the council data submission so one completed step does not hide another outstanding action.
Leather-sector businesses preparing their first council application, annual renewal or a response to inconsistent records. Describe the product, exporter role and existing membership before selecting the engagement.
| Question | What matters | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh or existing | Identify whether there is already a membership or application reference. | Start from the current record rather than duplicating it. |
| Exporter role | Separate manufacturing activity from sourcing or trading. | Ask which evidence is relevant to the actual business. |
| Record period | The current renewal circular asks for 2025-26 export data. | A nil-export declaration is not interchangeable with missing sales records. |
| Work boundaries | Is the requested result membership, another council certificate or shipment support? | Agree separate deliverables where more than one task is required. |
₹5,000. Professional fee. Applicable GST, government charges and agreed third-party costs are extra.
One specified service engagement. Confirm the applicant, deliverables and exclusions in writing before work starts.
Keep the displayed professional fee separate from the council subscription and taxes. CLE's current annual renewal uses category-based charges; obtain the relevant invoice rather than applying one flat amount to every exporter.
Preparation and the council's decision are different stages. An older circular's processing target is not a promise for today's application; agree the included follow-up and dependencies.
