REGISTRATIONS & LICENCES · INDIA
Before applying for PHARMEXCIL registration, identify the exact pharmaceutical product or service and the council now responsible for it. Older lists that group Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy indiscriminately under PHARMEXCIL are not a safe basis for a new application: DGFT revised the jurisdiction in 2023.

Reconcile business, activity and attachment particulars.
Record what was issued and what was not assessed.

ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Need help with your specific situation?
Talk to our teamDGFT's Public Notice 23/2023 dated 31 July 2023 allocated specified items to AYUSHEXCIL and revised PHARMEXCIL coverage. Check the actual product rather than treating all traditional-medicine items as new PHARMEXCIL applications.

No. It preserved certificates issued before that notice for those items until their expiry. This does not establish that any particular old certificate remains valid today.
References: DGFT: revised PHARMEXCIL and AYUSHEXCIL coverage
The revised entry includes bulk drugs and intermediates, formulations, biological products, diagnostics, surgical items, nutraceuticals and specified pharmaceutical services. An ambiguous product still requires a jurisdiction check.

The council lists IEC, PAN, bank and applicable drug/industrial records, with prior export figures where relevant. Match the checklist to the actual category and current requirements, not merely an old form label.

PHARMEXCIL's public application and renewal links point to DGFT e-RCMC material. Confirm the current category and attachments there rather than relying solely on an older printed-copy FAQ.

No product or destination-market approval is established by council registration. Identify the actual regulatory authorisation requested and arrange the appropriate separate assessment before manufacture, sale or shipment.
THE DETAIL, WHEN YOU NEED IT
Before applying for PHARMEXCIL registration, identify the exact pharmaceutical product or service and the council now responsible for it. Older lists that group Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy indiscriminately under PHARMEXCIL are not a safe basis for a new application: DGFT revised the jurisdiction in 2023.
Pharmaceutical exporters reviewing a new RCMC, an existing certificate or a change in product range. Membership is a separate task from drug licensing, manufacturing permission and approval in the destination market.
| Question | What matters | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Exact product or service | Describe the formulation, product category or pharmaceutical service. | A broad label such as 'health products' does not settle council jurisdiction. |
| AYUSH boundary | Check whether the item was allocated to AYUSHEXCIL. | Do not reuse an old PHARMEXCIL product list for a new application. |
| Existing certificate | Record issuer, issue date, goods and expiry. | The 2023 transition protected then-issued records only until expiry. |
| Regulatory purpose | Separate RCMC from the drug or destination document requested. | A membership certificate does not itself clear a regulated product. |
