No, startups and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can also register under these schemes to avail the benefits. In fact, these schemes are designed to encourage and support new exporters.

Softex filing is a mandatory requirement for all STPI-registered units. It is a declaration of software exports filed with the RBI, and it is necessary for availing export benefits and for compliance under FEMA.
