GJEPC Hosts Webinar to Guide Members on Digital Services and e‑RCMC Process

The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) organised a focused webinar on 16 July 2026 to familiarise its members with the Council’s digital services, membership benefits and the electronic Registration-Cum-Membership Certificate (e‑RCMC) application process. The online session was designed to help exporters and manufacturers navigate the Council’s digital ecosystem and comply efficiently with trade and regulatory procedures.

Purpose and scope of the webinar

The webinar aimed to enhance members’ awareness of digital tools and services available through GJEPC, while offering practical guidance on completing mandatory registrations and submissions. By presenting step‑by‑step demonstrations and expert explanations, the Council sought to reduce procedural friction and support members in strengthening their export readiness. Emphasis was placed on how digital adoption can streamline workflows, lower administrative overhead and improve access to market‑facing opportunities.

Speakers and key insights

Senior Director – Membership, Mithilesh Pandey, led the session, outlining GJEPC’s structure and the principal advantages of membership. He highlighted how the Council’s initiatives are intended to support business growth, raise export competitiveness and boost operational efficiency across the gem and jewellery sector. Pandey also explained the strategic role of member services in enabling firms to respond to changing market and regulatory requirements.

Assistant Manager – Membership, Archana Bhosale, added a practical dimension to the webinar by conducting a live demonstration of the Digital Members Directory found on the Council’s online portal. Her walkthrough covered member login procedures, updating company profiles, searching for other members, using networking features and requesting permissions to view restricted profile information. These demonstrations helped attendees familiarise themselves with the portal’s interface and capabilities.

Services explained during the session

Participants were introduced to a broad array of member services available through GJEPC. The presentation covered MSME support schemes that assist small and medium enterprises, the Hand Carriage Facility that benefits travellers and exhibitors, and the Digital Members Directory which enhances visibility and business connections. Other services discussed included the Bharat Ratnam Mega Common Facility Centre (Mega CFC), Importer Exporter Code (IEC) related support, ICEGATE registration assistance, AD Bank registration guidance, Customs KYC facilitation, IJEX and IIJS exhibition participation information, the Parichay Card programme and the PM Vishwakarma Scheme. Each service was positioned in terms of practical value to exporters and manufacturers.

Guidance on IEC updates and e‑RCMC application

Bhosale provided a detailed walkthrough of the IEC update process and the e‑RCMC application steps on the DGFT portal, demonstrating the digital submission workflow and highlighting important checkpoints for compliance. This segment aimed to demystify common pain points in regulatory filings, reducing the likelihood of errors and delays. Attendees learned how to prepare required documentation, navigate the DGFT interface and monitor application status after submission.

Member engagement and outcomes

The webinar drew participation from 75 GJEPC members who actively engaged with the speakers and sought clarifications during an interactive question‑and‑answer session. Queries ranged from portal navigation and profile management to specifics of regulatory submission and exhibition participation. The interactive format allowed members to resolve practical doubts and take away actionable steps for immediate implementation.

The programme concluded with a vote of thanks and a reiteration of GJEPC’s commitment to empowering its members through knowledge sharing, digital transformation and targeted support initiatives. By strengthening members’ familiarity with digital tools and compliance procedures, the Council reinforced its role in fostering a more efficient, connected and competitive gem and jewellery export community.
