In order to make the Indian IT Industry move up the value chain and thereby sustain its growth trajectory, India has to adopt a paradigm shift in it’s strategy for software sector by focusing to create vibrant Indian Software Product Industry, where IT Products also contribute equitably and significantly along with IT Services. Though India is well positioned to further grow in services sector, however for holistic growth, there is a need for a National Policy on Software Products that can synergise the efforts of the Government and Industry to create a robust Software Product Industry, which enables the germinating ground for large number of Software product startups, promotes development of an ecosystem encouraging R&D and innovation, opens up multitude of opportunities of access to capital and helps build and improve the domestic demand. A National Policy on Software Products aligning with other initiatives such as Start-up India, Make in India and Digital India etc. can provide the springboard for India to emerge as a global leader in this important industry.

1. GST Put only 5% for Software Products, which will help many software developers to develop products by Purchasing licenses of Software Development Tools ( presently they are having many taxes around for purchasing the license). This simple tax will help many to work and develop and create employment. This will help many to have original license softaware

2. Reduce the TDS from 10% to 2% for Software Contracts or Sub contracts to individuals or professionals for software consultancy work.

With the thrust on digital banking, mobile handsets which are not smart phones should have option for initiating banking transactions. The manufacturer should embed the UPI app by way of an option facilitating easy initiation of banking transactions.

Frequent change in terms and conditions by software companies is order of the day. Having installed a software and changing terms and conditions after a while compels us to abide being addicted to the software and also increasing the cost in name of updating the software is a great loop hole where software companies trick their customers to pay a exorbidant amount for a product or service. Many industries are helpless by these acts to be addressed in the current policy.

A regulatory body for assessing the quality of computer/software related education being imparted by the various institutes should be set up. The body should lay down the guidelines for faculty selection and fee structure for the courses offered. Regular audit of the establishment need to be carried out to ascertain the quality of the faculty/courses offered. Faculty to be employed should pass certification examinations and possess actual work experience.

The software companies are adopting for subscription systems for thier products. This compels the users to pay for using their products throughout the lifetime. This is total exploitation. We need to pay them for the period where there is no service or contribution from the developers for merely using or having thier products lying idle on our systems. Which is not followed any of other products like automobiles or FMCG products. Our regulations on software products should address these issues
