What Are Softex Filings?

The Softex Form is a mandatory regulatory requirement for companies in India that export software and IT-enabled services (ITES).

It must be filed with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) through authorized officials at Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) or SEZ Development Commissioners.

Softex Filings record every software export, whether delivered physically or online and ensure that foreign exchange earnings are tracked and regulated under FEMA guidelines.
