Indian IT and ITeS industry has emerged as one of the fastest growing exporting industry in the Indian economy. The industry thrives on the confidence it enjoys among the clients across the globe. NASSCOM is continuously introspecting to find out the areas in which the Indian industry and governance structures and practices that need to be improved to keep its global clients satisfied and increase the non-economic competitive barriers and keep India's lead.
NASSCOM has taken up several initiatives. It has conducted research to identify gaps in the legal structure between India and other major client countries. It identified the gaps and established among the client countries that gaps are insignificant and also made recommendations to our government wherever amendments were required. It has helped Police system in India to build capacity to monitor cyber safety by educating the police personnel. NASSCOM is working on several such initiatives which are sure to enhance confidence and competitiveness of Indian IT Industry.
One of the major concerns that global clients at present have is that the personal and private information of their citizens is being handled by persons employed by Indian IT industry and that IT industry does not know them well. The Indian industry has met this concern by engaging third party entities to conduct background check of persons selected to be employed in the IT industry. The practice of background check is quite expensive. Whenever employee moves from one employer to the other within the industry, every next employer spends time and effort on the same background check again that is a wasteful expense. Further, employers do not have time and wherewithal to counter check the quality of back ground check done by back ground checking agency. In order to reduce the time and effort in conducting the back ground check and to meet these limitations in the back ground checking process, industry has approached NASSCOM and it has taken the lead by creating “National Skill Registry” i.e. NSR.

Point of Service (POS) appointed by NSDL Data Management Ltd. (NDML) will scan fingerprints, photograph and signature of ITP and upload the same to NSR system. POS will have a mobile set up that can be installed in the office of the employer so that ITP can save time in completing this formality. The system will issue a unique identification number to ITP. The uniqueness is determined based on the comparison of fingerprint properties registered for other ITPs in the system. List of POS Centres Register Here
