Indian IT Firms Face Cost Hikes Despite H-1B Visa Clarification

• Nasscom reports that the U.S.’s H-1B visa fee hike will only apply to fresh petitions, easing concerns about the impact on Indian IT firms.

• The fee is expected to have a marginal impact on the sector due to reduced dependencies on H-1B visas and increased local hiring.

• The fee will be applicable from 2026 onwards, allowing companies to enhance local hiring and skilling programs in the U.S.

• Some experts predict no immediate adverse impact over the next 6-12 months, but others warn of a deferred impact requiring reassessment of business strategies.

• Sajai Singh, Partner at JSA Advocates and Solicitors, suggests that while the immediate shock has lessened, the impact will still be significant, potentially disrupting business models and revenue streams.

H‑1B visa clarification is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
