APEDA RCMC Modification: FAQs
Which changes need an APEDA RCMC modification?
Common changes include a new registered or branch address, a change in business name, addition of new scheduled products, changes in partners or directors, and updated bank or contact details. Because the RCMC is linked to your Import Export Code, many of these changes should first be updated in the IEC on the DGFT portal. Our professionals confirm the correct order before filing.
Do I need to update my IEC before modifying APEDA registration?
In many cases, yes. APEDA records are linked to your Import Export Code, so details such as name, address and bank account should usually match your updated IEC. If the IEC is not updated first, the APEDA modification may be delayed or questioned. Vibence can update your IEC and then file the APEDA modification so both records stay aligned.
Can I add new products to my APEDA registration?
Yes. If you start exporting additional scheduled products, you can request that they be added to your APEDA registration. You will need to give details of the new products, and some products may have specific requirements or need additional certificates for export. Our partner professionals check the requirements for your products before filing the request.
Does modification extend the validity of my RCMC?
No. A modification updates the details on your APEDA registration but does not normally change its validity period. The RCMC continues to expire on its original date, and you must still renew it on time. If renewal is due soon, it may make sense to handle the modification and renewal together, and our professionals can advise on this.
How much does an APEDA modification cost?
APEDA may charge a fee for certain types of modification, plus applicable GST, which is paid directly to APEDA. The Vibence professional fee depends on the changes involved and whether your IEC also needs updating. We confirm the full cost with you before filing anything.
