DSPF Certification Services for Hassle-Free SEZ Benefits

Q: What is DSPF certification?

DSPF (Data Service Procurement Form) certification is a compliance requirement for SEZ units to declare and validate their service procurement used within SEZ operations.

DSPF Certification Services That Keep Your SEZ Benefits Intact

If you're operating from a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and availing exemptions on services like electricity, water, internet, or security, DSPF certification is essential. The Data Service Procurement Form (DSPF) is a declaration that confirms which services you've procured and ensures that they are used strictly for authorized SEZ operations.

At SOFTEX Consultancy Services, we simplify the DSPF Certification Services process, helping businesses stay compliant while continuing to benefit from SEZ-linked exemptions. Our support covers everything, from documentation to coordination with SEZ authorities so you can stay focused on business operations, not paperwork.

Why DSPF Certification Matters

Businesses located in SEZs enjoy exemptions from taxes like GST and electricity duty for certain input services. But to continue availing these benefits, they need to file DSPF declarations with the Development Commissioner’s office.

Without timely and accurate DSPF filing:

You may lose your right to claim exemptions
Your unit may be flagged during audits
There could be delays in processing refunds or duty waivers

That’s where our DSPF Certification Services come in. We ensure your filings are accurate, compliant, and submitted well within the deadlines.

What We Do

With years of experience supporting SEZ units, we understand how nuanced compliance requirements can be. As your compliance partner, we assist in:

Preparing and reviewing DSPF declarations
Identifying services that qualify for exemptions
Coordinating with SEZ authorities and the Unit Approval Committee (UAC)
Handling discrepancies or objections from regulatory departments
Ensuring DSPF filings align with your SEZ Letter of Approval (LoA)

We make sure the underlying documentation, contracts, and usage logs are in place and ready for scrutiny during inspections or audits.

Who Needs DSPF Filing?

Every SEZ unit that:

Avails exemption on services like facility management, IT infrastructure, telecom, security, and utilities
Is required to submit a periodic report to the Development Commissioner
Wants to ensure uninterrupted SEZ benefits and avoid compliance risks

Whether you're an IT services firm, logistics provider, or manufacturing unit, accurate DSPF filing is mandatory for you.
