Starting your software export journey? If you're not planning to register under STPI but still want to stay compliant with RBI’s guidelines on foreign exchange reporting, NSTP registration is a must.
NSTP (Non-STPI) registration is ideal for IT and software service providers that don’t operate under the STPI scheme but still export software and services. While the compliance requirements are lighter, the responsibilities still matter. Foreign exchange reporting, client invoicing, and periodic submissions to RBI-authorised banks need to be handled the right way, and that’s where we step in.
At SOFTEX Consultancy Services LLP, we simplify non-STPI registration so that your backend stays clean and your business keeps moving forward. We help you navigate the paperwork, timelines, and coordination with authorised dealer (AD) banks without making it feel like a chore. Our NSTP registration services are built to save you time, avoid costly mistakes, and give you clarity throughout the compliance process.
Just because you're not under STPI doesn’t mean you're out of scope. RBI requires all software exports, whether physical or cloud-based, to be declared through the right channels. For NSTP-registered entities, this happens via AD banks and SOFTEX forms.
Missing out on reporting or filing inconsistencies can trigger audits, foreign exchange issues, and delayed payments. Our job as your compliance partner is to make sure that doesn’t happen.
From documentation and follow-ups to handling clarifications from the bank, we take care of it all. We also help you understand what goes into each step, so you're never left guessing.
