6. REVENUE GENERATION
THROUGH RCMC
The revenue generation has shown a marginal
increase of 8% over the last year till Oct.09 i.e.
Rs.42,20,000/-. One of the reason for marginal
increase is that Surat based members are not
renewing RCMC every year and most of the
addresses, contact details o
new members are incorrect.

8. NEW MEMBERS
 New members have decreased as compared to
last year till Oct.’09 i.e. 270. The main reason for
the same is due to restriction on import of
Embroidery machines. Efforts are being made
to persuade non-members who are availing
services of COO attestation.

12. ACTION PLAN
 Send communication on regular basis to all the members for renewal of
membership
 Follow-up of outstanding over phone
 Getting data bank / directories of various chambers / association & send them
introduction of FIEO
 Invite suggestion from the members on the subject they would like FIEO to
organize seminar / workshop
 Emphasizing on organising Seminar / workshop in association with other
chamber / association which gives us opportunity to introduce FIEO to their
members
 Organising awareness programmes at various cities of Gujarat particularly Surat
and Rajkot.

13. INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAN
POWER REQUIREMENT
 * At present we are having 2 officers accordingly Membership V/s Employee
Strength is 1461 : 1.
* Since recovery is the most important aspect there is requirement of 1 casual
employee for handling Recovery & related communication with Gujarat members
* Shredder

14. RECOMMENDATIONS
 Check list should also include Memorandum & Articles of
Associations/Partnership deed
 Reports in Excel Format - Reports generated should be downloadable in
Excel format, so that more customised detailed analysis can be done.
 The payment receipt should show subscription and service tax separately.
The service tax option should be included in the endorsement module.
 Request for uploading photographs and company profile should be included in the
RCMC covering members for new registration and endorsement for speedy action
from the members.
 Nominal charges for amendments should also be imposed so that it can generate
additional revenue.
 Issue COO (upto 8 copies) + Invoice (1 copy) + Packing list (1 copy) as a set.

15. RECOMMENDATIONS
 Increase in Processing fees – At present member who
have not paid for 2 years prefers to make new
application rather than paying 2 years fees collectively.
He is having option to first send cancellation
application & then apply for new RCMC after few days.
Hence increase in processing fees would restrict them
from cancellation.
