ANNUAL REVIEW:
2014
We are working with both the union
and state governments of India to
create a policy and regulatory climate
conducive to the growth of the
IT-BPM industry.
Government
policy issues
NASSCOM continues to be in forefront,
highlighting concerns and working with
both, the industry and the government
towards a better environment. Industry
inputs and support in this process has
been critical. We are working with both
the union and state governments of
India to create a policy and regulatory
climate conducive to the growth of the
IT-BPM industry in the country.
It is indeed heartening that the
suggestions related to leveraging ICT
for growth, easing regulatory and
compliance burden for businesses
in general and for start-ups and
small organisations in particular, are
today the centre piece of various
government initiatives.
The
governments
focus
on
streamlining business environment,
NASSCOM shared a
comprehensive 5-pronged
agenda when the new
government took over:
Enable innovation and
support entrepreneurship
Foster an ecosystem and
initiatives that accelerate
growth of product,
small and start-up firms

Improve business

I. Budget Recommendations
The pre-budget discussions and
recommendations made to the
government have been targeted
to enable the IT industry to map a
sustained growth plan, and suggest
how best global competencies of the
ICT sector can be leveraged for growth
and development goals.
The success of the flagship initiatives
of the government Digital India
and Make in India offers tremendous
opportunities for the innovation driven
technology industry, and the success
also hinges on the sustainability and
continued growth of the technology
driven sector. Hence, factors that
can potentially restrict growth and
innovation and necessary aspects to
promote a growth oriented business
environment for existing players,
innovation driven start-ups and SMEs
were shared. Further suggestions were
made to encourage adoption and
migration to digital economy, thereby
helping government leverage the
inherent transparency and traceability
of online transactions.
Some of the salient recommendations
by NASSCOM are:
Addressing regulatory and tax
21
a. Online payments
Continuing our efforts in streamlining the
online payment environment to ensure
that recurring payments for subscription
to internet enabled based products and
services are possible in a manner that
is acceptable and the norm around the
world, we have made representations
to the RBI on the issue. The RBI has
acknowledged the issue and we await
a simplified single authentication, which
will allow easy recurring payments with
adequate safeguards.
b.
Regulations
for
Cloud
Communication Service Providers
and issues related to eCommerce
As cloud enabled services grow in India,
NASSCOM has been interacting with
the government on how regulations
should be adapted, modified or clarified
to prevent operational hassles.
In continuation of this, a guidance
paper was made available to Cloud
Communication Service Providers,
highlighting essential contract terms
to ensure compliance with Telecom
Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)
regulations. The contents were
prepared in discussion with the
regulators taking care of their concerns
and also drawing from best practices
from other sectors. The Industry
has been referring to it, as they draft
client contracts.
State IT Policies
NASSCOM has been actively engaged
in developing and refining the IT policy
of several states. We have been
engaged with the state governments
of Karnataka, Rajasthan, Maharashtra,
Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Tamil Nadu,
Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat on policy
issues and have made suggestions on
the various policy frameworks.
The suggestions made by NASSCOM
are based on comparative study of
the state IT policies and areas where
industry requires support, identified
based on consultations with members
and expert opinions.
