What is Silk Board Registration (RCMC)?

The Central Silk Board (CSB), established under the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, is responsible for the development and promotion of the silk industry in India.
Exporters dealing in silk and silk-based products must register with the Central Silk Board and obtain a Registration-cum-Membership Certificate (RCMC) to engage in export activities legally.

This registration is a mandatory requirement under the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) for exporters to avail government incentives, schemes, and participate in global trade opportunities.
