What is Softex Compliance?
Softex compliance is a key legal requirement under India’s Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) framework. If you’re a software exporter, Softex forms act as proof to regulators that your software transactions, services, and payments are genuine and compliant with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines.
For startups and businesses in the IT sector, filing Softex is a crucial step to stay compliant, avoid penalties, and smoothly bring payments back into India.
