This STPI Scheme has been extended for one more year.  If you get yourself registered with STPI Unit, then, you may avail the benefits such as exemption levy of service tax, CST Reimbursement, procurement of got ods and software without payment of VAT/Excise/Customs Duty and exemption from Income Tax.

You would have to get yourself registered with Development Commissioner of the Jurisdictional STPI/ Excise Department/VAT Department and Income Tax Department.
