Dear Arindam,
The STP Scheme provides for DTA sales depending on the export obligation achieved. STP Units are permitted DTA sales upto 50% in value terms provided the unit has fulfilled its minimum exports. STP units wishing to access to DTA are required to apply STPI for obtaining DTA entitlement. After the DTA entitlement is issued by STPI, STP units can do DTA sales in following forms:
Physical
Consultancy Services
Through Data-communication links
The following DTA sales by STP units are eligible for export obligation benefit.
Supplies to other STP/100% EoU/EHTP units
Supplies effected in DTA against payment in foreign exchange
Supplies effected in DTA under global tender conditions
Supplies against advance License and other import license.
This is the legal status & requirements for sale in DTA. For more details you can email me with details of the transaction.
Regards
Amit Soni
