Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

IT & Software Industry
1. How to register a SaaS company for IT exports in India?
To register a SaaS company for IT exports, you need to set up a business entity (like a Private Limited Company), obtain a GST registration, and an Import-Export Code (IEC). Additionally, registering with the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) is highly recommended to avail tax benefits and incentives. Our experts can guide you through the entire STPI and SEZ registration process.
2. What needs to be included in a Software Development Agreement?
A robust Software Development Agreement should clearly define the scope of work, project milestones, payment terms, and intellectual property (IP) ownership. It must also include clauses for confidentiality, data protection, testing, and acceptance criteria. We specialize in drafting comprehensive agreements that protect your interests.
3. Do SaaS platforms need a Privacy Policy in India?
Yes, a Privacy Policy is mandatory for any SaaS platform that collects or processes user data in India. Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act), you must inform users how their data is collected, used, and protected. Our legal team can draft a compliant Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for your SaaS platform.
4. What are the benefits of STPI registration for an IT company?
STPI registration offers numerous benefits, including tax exemptions on export income, duty-free import of hardware and software, and simplified compliance procedures. It is a crucial step for any IT company focused on software exports.
5. Is ISO 27001 certification mandatory for software companies in India?
While not mandatory for all, ISO 27001 certification is a globally recognized standard for information security management. It is often a client requirement, especially for enterprise solutions, and demonstrates your commitment to data security. We provide documentation and policy framework support for ISO 27001 readiness.
6. How can I protect my software's source code and IP?
You can protect your software IP through a combination of copyrights for the source code, patents for novel algorithms or processes, and robust non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with employees and clients. Our IPR services cover all aspects of software IP protection.
7. What is open-source license compliance and why is it important?
Open-source license compliance involves adhering to the terms of the licenses (e.g., GPL, MIT) for any open-source components used in your software. Non-compliance can lead to legal risks, including being forced to disclose your proprietary source code. Our audits help identify and mitigate these risks.
