New Delhi [India], April 29: The Federation of Indian Emigration Management Councils and Associations (FIMCA), formerly known as the Employment Promotions Council of Indian Personnel (EPCIP), strongly commends the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) for its firm directive, issued via Office Memorandum dated April 21, 2025, which unequivocally mandates that all overseas recruitment -- regardless of passport type (ECR or ECNR) or destination country -- must be conducted exclusively through MEA/PoE-authorised Recruiting Agents holding valid Registration Certificates (RCs).
