Some things don't change like the IT industry's budget wish list. Much like the last 5 years, this year's list also leads with an extension of the tax benefits under the software technology parks of India scheme.

The Indian IT industry has submitted a long list of demands to the finance minister and while this has a few new demands, most are ones that have been seen on the list in previous years like a plea to extend the tax SOPs for software technology parks for another year or till the direct tax code (DTC) is implemented.
