The National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) has submitted its Budget 2010-11 wishlist to the government, where in it has recommended that the software technology parks of India (STPI) initiatives should be at par with special economic zone (SEZ) schemes. "SEZ anomaly should be removed retrospectively."

The premier trade body of the IT-BPO companies in India has also suggested that there should be higher tax incentives for the Indian business process outsourcing (BPO) sector. Further it has asked the government should introduce a legal cell for litigation cases.

The outlay for higher education, NASSCOM has said must be upped minimum four fold. It also sees a need to fast-track public-private partnership (PPP) projects for quicker implementation.
