Trump’s visa fee hike is not the only worry. Hostility mounts for Indian IT in US

US President Donald Trump’s H-1B visa fee, even threatening to hit Indian Software Services providers, US deputies and agencies intensified the examination of the offshoring sector separately.

The country’s largest information technology (CT) services company and India Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp., Homegrown Tata Consultancy Services Ltd, two senators, Republican Charles E. Grassley and Democrat Richard J. Durbin were among the targeted companies. Tom Cotton, a third senator, was thinking about the invoices for the reform of the H-1B program, while the Republican Revolutionary Revolution Bernie Moreno proposed a rental action to increase taxes on companies in offshoring.

The growing examination makes Trump’s H-1B visas for an execution order to upgrade an execution order to upgrade from $ 1,000 to $ 100,000 from next year from next year to $ 1,000 from next year. The target is the claim that H-1B visas, which ensure that non-high-skilled immigrants work temporarily in the USA, are abused. These permissions are published for three years with the option of renewal up to six years. India CT companies made 70% of visas published in 2024.

“The question is how effective is Chuck Grassley and Dick Durbin’s letters? He said.

“Indian companies, not only the people living in the United States for a while, but in these discussions, cultural nuance critical importance,” to help them walk around, they need desperate American voices. “He said.

Last Wednesday, President of the Judicial Committee Grassley and Durbin, TCS CEO K crithivasan and cognitive counterpart S Ravi Kumar’a wrote about recruitment practices.

“TCS recently announced that it plans to dismiss more than 12,000 people worldwide, including American personnel.

TCS sponsored 5,505 H-1B employees at FY25, the second largest beneficiary. Amazon.com The senators accused the company of expelling Americans and replacing them with H-1B employees.

“TCS, the newly hired South Asia H-1B employees in favor of the former American workers allegedly fired by the equal employment opportunity commission is already under investigation.

Accused of discrimination

They accused Cognizant of discrimination against white Americans.

“Last year, a federal jury concluded that South-Asia H-1B workers supported American employees by supporting them intentionally. The jury also found that Cognizant’s behaviors require criminal damages. Cognizant does not continue to change the Americans with H-1B workers in the heels of this decision”.

The latest financial, Cognizant received approval to rent a 2,493 H-1B employee, which made it the largest user of the seventh of these visas.

Following the financial calendar in April-Mart, the TCS ended in 25 financial years with a revenue of 30.18 billion dollars, and Cognizant, which follows the January-December financial calendar, generated 19.74 billion dollars.

The senators asked both Crither and Kumar, including the reasons behind the reasons behind hiring H-1B employees while dismissing American staff, and whether the TCS and Cognizant had deliberately kept H-1B recruitment ads separately from general recruitment ads.

The senators also sought answers to whether both companies have paid the same salaries and whether they allow similar benefits to H-1B workers and American colleagues.

TCS and Cognizant will respond to the letter of US deputies until October 10th.

The queries sent to TCS, Cognizant and senators Grassley and Durbin by e -mail remained unanswered.

To be sure, both Grassley and durnbin have been trying to submit more strict laws that have handled the H-1B visa problem since 2007. Both are Amazon, Apple Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. He wrote to the remaining eight major beneficiaries, including.

H-1B Reform Agenda

Meanwhile, Cotton said he could bring two invoices that propose changes in the H-1B program.

“President Trump and @ecretarylCD (Secretary Lori Chavez-Deremeter) H-1B program is absolutely true that the program needs reforms, Cot Cotton said, on September 26, Social media broadcast X.“ Next week I introduce two invoices that will bring badly needed changes in this program and put American workers first. ”

At the beginning of this month, Moreno, a senator from Ohio, proposed leasing legislation aimed at doing outsourcing costs and reducing confidence in cheap foreign labor. Indian IT companies earn about three fifty -fifths of their revenues from the USA to the rear -end technology of major American companies, as they use external resources to home services companies, including TCS, InfoS and Wipro.

Go out of a target

However, the rental law may not be a law, and even though it is expected to transfer costs to its customers, the impact of the American companies will be higher than at home service providers.

Nevertheless, when the changing regulatory landscape is combined with artificial intelligence, it can be a double Whammy for Indian technology companies.

“I believe that the rise of artificial intelligence is a greater risk for Indian IT Outsourcing firms. Therefore, with the rise of AI, all these policies and regulatory changes related to free human movement are like a double fluttering for outsourcing companies.” He said. “Only the most innovative technology outsourcing firms can work around and benefit from the opportunity.”

Investors are worried that the country’s 10 largest IT service companies scored approximately 8% at the United Market value last week.
