New Delhi: The commerce ministry has not received any communication from the US on its reported decision to consider caps on H-1B work visa for nations that mandate storing of data locally, sources said.
India had last year mandated payment firms to store customer data exclusively in the country without creating a mirror sites overseas. Some US firms are opposed to this as it would require them to make additional investment.
Irked by such requirements, the US is considering restrictions on H-1B visa that allow foreign professionals to work in that country, a report said.
