US President Donald Trump is issuing a new decree on India one after the other. The first 25% tariff of 25%. Now the H1-B visa fees have been increased to a new shigufa. This decision of Trump has increased the affection of IT companies. Although Trump is thinking as much as possible. India's condition will not be able to worsen it. NASSCOM, an organization that represents the technology industry, says that we expect a slight impact on the region.

In fact, Indians working in America and companies related to India have reduced their dependence on H1B visas and they are increasing the recruitment of local people.

So there will not be much effect

According to the available data, the number of H1B visas issued to prominent Indian and India companies has come down from 14,792 to 10,162 in 2024 in 2015. NASSCOM said on Monday that its eligibility and deadline related ambiguity has been removed by giving clear information about the US government not being implemented on visa holders for the H1B visa fee increase. Animcom said that this clarity will remove the uncertainty concerns of H-1B holders living outside the US. The US government has said, on September 21, 2025, it is mandatory to pay one million dollars with any new H1B visa application to be submitted after 12:01 pm on September 21, 2025. Nasscom (National Association of Software and Services Companies) is a non-profit organization that represents India's Information Technology and Business Process Management Industries.

New fee will be applicable from 2026

The apex industry organization said, this fee will be applicable from 2026, so that companies will get enough time to improve the skill program in the US and recruit more employees at the local level. The Indian Information Technology (IT) industry on Sunday breathed a sigh of relief when the US government clarified that a new fee of one lakh rupees of H1B visa application would be applicable only to new applicants and will have no effect on existing visa holders or visa renewal.

How much does it seem

The H1B visa fee ranges between $ 2000 to $ 5000, depending on the size and other expenses of the employer. Meanwhile, the US government has said that all the new H1B visa applications submitted after September 21 will have to pay a million US dollars for applications which was recently announced by President Donald Trump.
