Are you exporting IT or IT-enabled services you cannot ignore SOFTEX Compliance.

Softex compliance required for IT and ITES exporters; ensures export proof and smoother refunds and avoids FEMA penalties. Softex compliance is mandatory for all exporters of IT and IT-enabled services to establish export proof, enable Bank Realisation Certificates, and speed GST refunds; failure risks penalties under foreign exchange law and delays in refunds. Exporters must register with the relevant export facilitation authority as non-STP units where needed and file recurring reports including Softex Forms, Monthly Performance Reports, Service Export Reporting Forms, and Annual Performance Reports.
