NEW DELHI: The relaxation in the framework for other service providers to deliver IT-enabled services remotely would have a massive social impact and offer more employment opportunities in tier - II and tier - III cities, the KPO Council<\/a> of India said.
\"This step will have a massive social impact and should add more and more jobs to tier 2 and 3 cities as well as bring more female employees into the business process outsourcing sector,\" Jitendra Sharma, Secretary at the KPO Council of India said.
Thursday, the Centre simplified the rules by reducing the compliance burden for the business process outsourcing (BPO<\/a>) and IT-enabled services (ITes) players to further facilitate work from home<\/a> or work from anywhere.
The new liberal policy framework, following the contagious Covid-19 or coronavirus outbreak, is aimed to boost the BPO and Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) sector worldwide.
Delhi-based group said that such a step would boost growth prospects, and it was a much-needed step.
“This is a path-breaking decision taken by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT). The industry was asking for such policy for long as earlier its absence was hindering the growth prospects for the industry and its proliferation to India’s tier 2 and 3 cities,” Sharma added.
