Services cover network design, system integration, installation, operations and maintenance of application networks and facilities in varied areas. The process development of STPI is in accordance to the Quality Management System, and adheres to ISO 9001 certification.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.stpi.in/11011|title=Software Technology Parks of India -About Software Technology Parks of India|website=www.stpi.in|language=en|access-date=2018-06-27}}</ref> The STP Scheme provides various benefits to the registered units, including 100% foreign equity, tax incentives, duty-free import, duty-free indigenous procurement, CST reimbursement, DTA entitlement, and deemed exporting.

== STPI Role ==
STP units exported software and information technology worth Rs. 215264 crore in FY 2010-11.<ref name="stpi2014">{{cite web|url=https://www.stpi.in/upld/annualreport14-15.pdf|title=STPI Annual Report 2014- 2015|publisher=[[Ministry of Electronics and Information and Technology]] |access-date=5 February 2018}}</ref> The state with the largest export contribution was [[Karnataka]] followed by [[Maharashtra]], [[Tamil Nadu]], [[Haryana]] and [[Telangana]]. STPI has a presence in many major cities of India including the cities of [[Bangalore]], [[Chennai]], [[Hyderabad]], [[Trivandrum]], [[Kanpur]], [[Patna]], [[Bhubaneswar]], [[Kolkata]], [[Mumbai]], [[Nagpur]], [[Warangal]], [[Gandhinagar]], [[Kakinada]], [[Lucknow]], [[Pune]], [[Surat]], [[Tirupati]], [[Vijayawada]] and [[Visakhapatnam]].<ref name="Surat STPI Center">http://www.gnr.stpi.in/MainSubCentre.html</ref><ref Name="STPI Surat">{{cite web |url=http://www.gnr.stpi.in/Surat2.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2014-03-16 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140320095931/http://www.gnr.stpi.in/Surat2.pdf |archive-date=2014-03-20 }}</ref><ref name="STPI Surat Handover">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qamZhNHwoJk Shri Narendra Modi dedicates development projects in Surat].

The tax benefits under the Income Tax Act Section 10A applicable to STP units has expired since March 2011. While the Government has chosen not to extend the Sec 10A benefits against the demand by the IT units, most of the STP registered SME units will be affected, and now will have to pay income tax on profits earned from exports.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Ramanathan|first=Arundhati|date=2013-09-24|title=Firms move out of software parks after govt ends tax incentives|url=https://www.livemint.com/Industry/N9wc0ZVQaexGf2HKh4nd7L/Firms-move-out-of-software-parks-after-govt-ends-tax-incenti.html|access-date=2021-01-25|website=mint|language=en}}</ref>

A new incentive scheme for IT and ITES companies is under discussion. It will help dispersal of IT industry in smaller cities and also support STPI-registered units which have not come under SEZs as well as other units which are not covered under any incentive scheme. This incentive scheme is seen as an alternate scheme to compensate the STPI units, but the same would be restricted to those units located in tier II and III cities.
