PARKS 
(STP) 
SCHEME 
 
8.6.1 MEANING 
 
 
Under STP scheme, a software development unit can be set 
up for the purpose of development of software, data entry and 
conversion, data, processing, data analysis and control data 
management or call centre services for exports. Under EHTP 
scheme, a unit can be set up for the purpose of manufacture and 
development of electronics hardware, and software in an integrated 
manner for export. The policy provisions for STP, EHTP and BTP 
schemes are substantially the same as those applicable to the

general EOU scheme. Thus, the provisions of foreign trade policy 
regarding importability of goods, DTA sale, clearance of samples, 
sub-contracting, inter-unit transfer, repairs, re-conditioning and re-
engineering, sale of unutilized material, de-bonding etc. are more or 
less same for STP/EHTP/BTP units as well as general EOUs. 
However, 
considering 
the 
special 
requirement 
of 
the 
software/hardware development sector, some specific provisions 
have been made for the STP/EHTP units in the foreign trade policy 
as well as in the customs notifications governing the scheme.
