NEW DELHI, Sept 20, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - India's leading trade body Nasscom on Saturday said the timeline for implementing the new $100,000 fee for H-1B visas for high-tech workers in the United States was a "concern".

"A one-day deadline creates considerable uncertainty for businesses, professionals, and students across the world," it said in a statement after President Donald Trump announced the fee which comes into force from Sunday.

It added that policy changes of this scale were best "introduced with adequate transition periods, allowing organizations and individuals to plan effectively and minimize disruption."
