Breaking News: No More IT SEZs in India

Commerce Secretary, Mr, G K Pillai, said in a speech that, they will not approve more IT SEZs due to the controversy surrounding land acquistion. However, if a company comes with an application after land acquistion, then a formal approval maybe given. We were the first one to report that HP had given up their IT SEZ plans in Bengalooru, India.

In another announcement, SEZs will get 100% Income Tax rebate during the first 5 years of operation and 50% during the next 5 years.
