लाभ

लाभ का प्रकार
Grant/reimbursement (MAI) routed through EPC; RCMC is a mandatory registration (cost, not benefit) that unlocks export-promotion schemes
राशि
Per older MAI guideline (read): participation in trade fairs/BSMs abroad = 2/3rd of actual expenditure, ceiling Rs 50 lakh per fair (venue, publicity, catalogues, interpreters); market studies 75% up to Rs 75 lakh; showrooms/warehouses 75%/50%/25% over 3 years up to Rs 50 lakh p.a.; publicity campaigns 50% up to Rs 50 lakh p.a.; R&D/product development 25% up to Rs 50 lakh per product; cottage/handicraft units get 90%/75%/50% instead of 2/3rd/50%/25%. Revised MAI 2021 per-exporter caps for fair participation (space rent/airfare) = not found (official 2021 PDF not readable). RCMC cost: CHEMEXCIL entrance fee Rs 500 (small manufacturer, nil turnover) to Rs 10,500 (large manufacturer), Rs 3,500 merchant exporter; renewal Rs 6,500-55,000 + 18% GST; start-ups with zero turnover Rs 1,000 + Rs 500 entrance. SHEFEXIL entrance Rs 20,000 + Rs 3,600 GST; annual Rs 5,000 or Rs 10,000 + 18% GST.
सब्सिडी का हिस्सा
MAI: 2/3rd (approx 66.7%) of eligible fair/BSM cost to the EPC; 75% for market studies; 50% for publicity/display; 90% for cottage/handicraft units (older guideline). 2021 revision percentages: not found.
अधिकतम सीमा
Rs 50 lakh per fair / per activity per annum (older guideline); per-exporter caps under MAI 2021: not found
अवधि
MAI 2021 valid 01.04.2021-31.03.2026 (post-March-2026 status unclear). RCMC valid till 31 March each year; renewal due 1 April, payable by 30 June (CHEMEXCIL).
जमानत
Not applicable (grant, not credit)
सत्यापन टिप्पणी
MAI reimburses EPCs roughly two-thirds of the cost of taking member exporters to overseas fairs and buyer-seller meets (cap Rs 50 lakh per event under the last guideline read); a Kannauj attar exporter must first obtain an RCMC from CHEMEXCIL (Rs 6,500-16,520 all-in for small exporters) or SHEFEXIL (Rs 5,900-11,800 annual plus Rs 23,600 entrance) via the DGFT e-RCMC portal.

पात्रता

कौन आवेदन कर सकता है
  • MAI direct grantees: Departments/organisations of Central or State Governments, Export Promotion Councils, registered Trade Promotion Organisations, Commodity Boards, Apex Trade Bodies, recognised industrial clusters
  • Individual exporters: only indirectly (as participants in EPC-led fairs/BSMs); direct claims historically only for product registration (pharma/biotech/agrochem) and engineering testing charges
  • RCMC: any exporter (proprietorship, partnership, LLP, company, HUF, society) holding an IEC; manufacturer or merchant exporter
आयु
Not applicable / not found
लिंग और श्रेणी
No category restriction. Older MAI guideline gives higher assistance (90%/75%/50%) to cottage and handicraft units and preference to small and medium entrepreneurs; MSME/women/SC-ST-specific percentages in the 2021 revision not verified (not found).
टर्नओवर या निवेश सीमा
None for eligibility. CHEMEXCIL annual fee is slabbed by FOB export value (Rs 6,500 for 0-10 lakh up to Rs 55,000 above Rs 1,000 crore, plus 18% GST); SHEFEXIL annual fee Rs 5,000 (FOB exports up to Rs 50 lakh, CA certificate needed) or Rs 10,000 (above Rs 50 lakh), plus 18% GST.
क्या इत्र व्यापार सूची में है
yes (partially verified). Attar/ittar and essential oils fall under HS Chapter 33 (3301 essential oils incl. 'attar of roses'; 3303 perfumes), which is within CHEMEXCIL's product jurisdiction; SHEFEXIL's scope covers forest-based products including essential oils and herbs (its circular is addressed to 'Panel: Herbs Industry'). No official EPC product list naming 'attar' was read on 2026-09-05, so the exact panel assignment is unverified. MAI itself has no notified trade list; it is product-agnostic via EPC projects.
अन्य शर्तें
Exporter must hold IEC; RCMC must be obtained/renewed annually (validity to 31 March) via DGFT e-RCMC portal; SHEFEXIL asks for FSSAI licence copy where applicable; CHEMEXCIL requires CA-certified export turnover of last 3 FYs.

आवेदन कैसे करें

ऑनलाइन पोर्टल
RCMC: https://www.dgft.gov.in (Services > e-RCMC; select CHEMEXCIL or SHEFEXIL). MAI: no exporter-facing portal; proposals submitted by EPC to E&MDA Division, Department of Commerce; exporters register for EPC-led events via chemexcil.in / shefexil.org circulars.
कार्यालय जहाँ जाना है
CHEMEXCIL, Jhansi Castle, 4th Floor, 7 Cooperage Road, Mumbai 400001 (regional office Delhi); SHEFEXIL, Vanijya Bhavan, 1/1 Wood Street, Kolkata 700016; Department of Commerce, E&MDA Division, Udyog Bhawan, New Delhi. No office in Kannauj.
दस्तावेज़
  • Import Export Code (IEC) certificate
  • GST registration and PAN
  • CA-certified export turnover of last 3 financial years (CHEMEXCIL mandatory; SHEFEXIL for Rs 5,000 slab)
  • Udyam/MSME certificate for small-scale entrance fee slab
  • Manufacturing licence/factory proof (SHEFEXIL asks FSSAI licence where applicable)
  • Fee payment via DGFT e-RCMC gateway (net banking/UPI) or advance NEFT details
  • For MAI fair participation: application to EPC circular, stall booking, proof of exports/product photos, bank details for reimbursement

सावधानी

1) MAI does not pay exporters directly; assistance goes to the EPC/cluster which then offers subsidised stalls - an exporter cannot claim MAI for a self-organised fair. 2) MAI 2021 validity ended 31.03.2026; continuation not confirmed as of 05.09.2026 - verify with EPC before committing to FY 2026-27 events. 3) TA/DA (own travel and stay) is never reimbursed under the guideline read. 4) Activities already funded under MDA/other schemes are excluded (no double-dipping). 5) RCMC is not a subsidy - it is a paid annual registration that lapses every 31 March; unrenewed RCMC blocks all EPC-routed benefits. 6) Choose the correct EPC: attar/essential oils (Ch. 33) sit with CHEMEXCIL; SHEFEXIL covers forest-based herbs/essential oils - dual membership doubles fees; wrong EPC is a common cause of e-RCMC rejection. 7) CHEMEXCIL charges Rs 1,180 for every RCMC amendment and gives no refund on cancellation. 8) Consultants advertising 'MAI registration' for Rs 5,000-7,500 are only filing the RCMC; there is no MAI registration for individual exporters.

कन्नौज में एजेंसी

No district-level implementing agency. MAI funds flow to EPCs/Trade Promotion Organisations/recognised industrial clusters, not to DIC Kannauj. A Kannauj attar exporter accesses MAI benefits only through its EPC (CHEMEXCIL or SHEFEXIL) which organises the subsidised trade-fair/BSM participation; RCMC applied online via DGFT (dgft.gov.in) with IEC. FFDC Kannauj and DIC Kannauj have no formal role in this scheme (FFDC may assist with documentation informally; not verified).
