Indian government policies


IT is regarded as one of the top 5 priority industries in India. IT is a part of national agenda and the government policies are framed in such a way so as to obtain maximum benefit out of IT outsourcing to India. The policy of liberalization and deregulation are aimed at supporting growth by opening Indian market and integration of Indian economy with the world economy. This has facilitated foreign companies to enter Indian markets. Now FDI investment from NRI including Overseas Corporate Bodies (OCB’s) owned by the NRI’s are warmly welcomed in India. The new National Telecom Policy has invited private precipitants to invest in the Indian telecom sector. The IT bill passed in the year 2000 provides legal framework for the recognition of electronic contracts, prevention of computer crime, and electronic filing of document. NASSCOM (National Association of Software and Services) in particular along with government of India is playing an important role in protecting the interests of the IT sector. Therefore, we can say that IT outsourcing to India has reached point of no return. In addition to this, the government of India has taken following steps in order boost investment in IT outsourcing:
