ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Your questions,
answered.

Need help with your specific situation?

Talk to our team
Which EEPC membership category should a new exporter consider?

EEPC distinguishes associate and ordinary membership. Start with the council's entry criteria and the actual engineering activity; do not assume a first application automatically receives ordinary status.

References: EEPC India: becoming a member, FY 2026-27

Is three years of associate membership required for ordinary membership?

The current published EEPC page says at least one year, with additional performance conditions. Confirm those conditions for the applicant rather than treating elapsed time alone as approval.

References: EEPC India: becoming a member, FY 2026-27

Is an ISO certificate a substitute for exporter records?

No substitute is assumed. Prepare the council-requested business, enterprise and export-performance evidence; identify any separate certification question in its own scope.

Where can e-RCMC applications and amendments be initiated?

DGFT provides separate e-RCMC application, renewal and amendment services. Choose the relevant task and registering authority rather than duplicating an existing certificate.

References: DGFT: e-RCMC prerequisites and services

Does a valid RCMC remove annual subscription responsibilities?

Do not assume so. EEPC publishes annual membership subscription instructions; retain the certificate and annual payment records as separate evidence.

References: EEPC India: becoming a member, FY 2026-27

What should I explain before requesting a quote?

Describe the engineering activity, existing membership, required outcome and any pending query. This allows the work to be scoped without collecting private financial documents in an initial enquiry.

Engineering exporters preparing an initial council application or reviewing an existing membership. Bring the actual product description, enterprise details and previous council record rather than relying on a generic export-registration checklist.

QuestionWhat mattersNext step
Product and panelIdentify the engineering goods or services and relevant classification.Do not reuse a checklist for an unrelated sector such as wool exports.
Associate or ordinaryThe current EEPC page specifies at least one year of associate membership plus separate performance conditions for ordinary membership.One year alone does not establish eligibility for conversion.
Export-performance evidenceUse the applicable prior financial year and enterprise category.Separate missing certification from a genuine nil-export position.
Annual upkeepEEPC describes annual subscription on a financial-year basis.Do not mistake the RCMC's printed validity period for paid-up annual membership.
Fee details, estimates & quote variables

₹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 published LIQUETAX professional fee separate from EEPC's council subscription and any admission/readmission charge. Obtain the applicable category/year invoice and confirm separately requested certification work before payment.

  • New, renewal, amendment or conversion task
  • Enterprise and council membership category
  • Missing performance records or certification work

Preparation depends on the usable records supplied. The council decides the application and may ask for clarification; do not promise customers a certificate date before the outcome is known.

Your responsibilities, handover & ongoing work

Describe the business

LIQUETAX: Record the engineering activity and requested membership task.

You: Provide the product details and explain who asked for the council record.

Reconcile the evidence

LIQUETAX: Identify missing enterprise or export-performance records.

You: Supply actual figures and certificates for the correct period.

Approve the application

LIQUETAX: Prepare the agreed particulars and itemised scope.

You: Confirm the chosen category and authorise submission and costs.

At handover and afterwards

  • Check the legal name, category and products recorded
  • Retain the application and supporting workings

  • Assign the next subscription and business-change review

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using a generic product description that hides the actual activity
  • Applying the old three-year associate-membership statement
  • Assuming ISO certification alone establishes council eligibility
  • Ignoring annual subscription while relying on certificate validity
