The short answer

The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) issues Registration-cum-Membership Certificates (RCMC) to exporters, especially multi-product exporters and those whose products are not covered by a specific export promotion council. An RCMC is needed to claim many benefits under the Foreign Trade Policy and is applied for online with your IEC.
