More imports less exports

Solutions from experts Reduce its dependence on conventional export markets Negotiate their contracts in rupee rather than dollars Move up the value chain Slowing down the rate of salary hike The government should give benefits in the form of tax sops Get a lot more Indiacentric Tap hitherto untapped markets Draw in work-force from the fringe states

Our views •The hike in excise duty from 8% to 12% on packaged software and addition of customised software in the service tax net is expected to negatively affect application development players in the domestic software industry. •With no comment on extension of IT tax exemption(sections 10A and 10B),the overall impact is expected to be marginally negative.

Thank You
