A big relief of Rent Waivers in the harshest time of Coronavirus came to the IT sector by the Indian Government. No rent to be charged from IT companies operating out of Software Tech Parks till June.
“IT units/ startups operating from 60 STPI Centers across India have been granted waiver from paying rental for period between 01.03.2020 and 30.06.2020. This will benefit nearly 200 small & medium IT/ITeS units supporting 3000 direct jobs.” –
