Extension of STPI: Interim relief to the IT sector

 
7/8/2009 4:27:00 PM

Mumbai, July (EPC News): The single biggest concern of the IT industry has been addressed by the extension of the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) benefits, though by only a year, S Mahalingam, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director of TCS, said.

The abolition of fringe benefit taxes was a very good move for India Inc. He said the Finance Minister did talk about a host of automation opportunities such as a new project for modernisation of the employment exchanges in public-private partnership which entails the development of a national Web portal with common software.

He added that since the Minister did not specify the outlay for such e-governance projects, no fresh allocation would be made. Alok Misra, Chief Financial Officer, WNS Global Services, said the abolition of fringe benefit tax would have a positive impact on a people-centric company such as WNS.

“The extension of the STPI policy for a year will at best provide an interim relief to the IT sector. However, the need of the hour os a longer extension to boost the prospects of IT companies, and aid the revival process in the prevailing global scenario,” Vineet Nayar, Executive Vice-Chairman of Mahindra Satyam, said.
