OVERVIEW

Frequently Asked Questions

What is STPI registration for software exporters?

STPI registration allows software and IT-enabled service exporters to operate under the STP Scheme as an STP Unit, or to register as a Non-STP Unit for the purpose of SOFTEX certification.

SOFTEX filing is a certification process administered by STPI that certifies the value of software exports for foreign exchange compliance under FEMA.

Software development companies, IT consulting firms, SaaS businesses, and STP/Non-STP Units engaged in eligible software exports generally need to file SOFTEX.

Common documents include the export invoice, client agreement/MSA/SOW/PO, banking details, authorised signatory details, and a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC).

Timelines vary depending on document readiness and STPI scrutiny, though most applications are certified within a few working days once submitted correctly.

No. SOFTEX is a foreign exchange compliance mechanism under FEMA, not a tax or licensing requirement.

An STP Unit is registered under the STP Scheme and operates within its regulatory framework, while a Non-STP Unit registers with STPI primarily for SOFTEX certification.

Legaljini provides complete support including registration pathway assessment, documentation, portal filing, and ongoing FEMA compliance guidance.

Yes, Legaljini also guides businesses on post-certification compliance, including export proceeds realisation tracking and recordkeeping.
