RBI Launches Annual Survey on IT and Software Exports
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has launched its annual survey for the year 2025-26 concerning Computer Software and Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) Exports. This initiative is designed to collect extensive information regarding various aspects of computer services exports, including ITES and business process outsourcing (BPO) services.
The outcomes of this survey are significant as they will not only be shared with the public but also play a crucial role in India’s external sector statistics compilation. This data will reflect the performance of the IT sector, a vital component of India's economy.
In previous years, the results have provided critical insights, which influenced policy decisions and investment strategies within the IT sector. The thorough data collection process ensures that the findings are robust and reliable.
Legal practitioners advising clients in the IT and software industries should pay close attention to this survey, as the data may influence regulatory compliance and strategic operations involving international trade in services.
