STPI adheres to the prescribed timelines for approvals and delivery of services under the STP Scheme, as outlined in its Citizen’s Charter available at https://stpi.in/en/citizens-charter.

Measures taken by the Software technology Parks of India (STPI) to streamline approvals and improve ease of doing business for STP units are as follows:

• Automation of Statutory Services: For providing seamless services to the IT exporters, statutory services including SOFTEX filling, its approval and final intimation to them has been automated. This has ensured speedy delivery of services to the satisfaction of the IT industry.
• Integration with RBI’s Export Data Processing and Monitoring System (EDPMS) System for IT exporters: STPI’s online system for IT exporters has been integrated with the Reserve Bank of India’s EDPMS for sharing of export data. This integration has enabled seamless electronic transmission of export declaration data to RBI in near real time. This has facilitated faster exchange of export data, enhanced accuracy and transparency, reduced manual intervention, improved monitoring of export transactions, and streamlined regulatory compliance for IT/ITeS exporters.
• Simplification of Import Procedures: The earlier practice of case-to-case import permissions has been replaced with blanket import permissions for the financial year concerned.
• Self-Declaration for Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) Sales: The requirement for prior DTA permissions for STPI-registered units has been replaced with a submission of self-declaration (except for advance DTA sales in first year of operation).

This information was given by Union Minister of Electronics and IT Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw in Lok Sabha on 12.08.2026
