Immigration attorneys said clients were filing applications for candidates selected by random lottery last month. The H1-B work permit, initially for three years, is granted only if the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) approves the application.

Though governments hold the considerable public authority to keep certain rights (such as freedom of movement) under control during an emergency, keeping a basic human right such as privacy at bay is questionable. The real danger is the ‘emergency’ track record of our institutions of last resort.

"The importance of hybrid cloud and AI has accelerated. What has changed is the pace at which they're being adopted. Transformation journeys (of) last few years are now being compacted into months...They're looking for long lasting answers on what they can do with technology to address the key issues that COVID-19 has brought to light," he said.

Software services exporters including Infosys, Wipro, TCS and WNS have delayed pay increases and put promotions on hold, due to the uncertainty over business growth across their key markets in the wake of the Covid-19 virus outbreak. CSS Corp has also paid 100% of variable salary to the bulk of its employees.

The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2020. This is Cognizant’s fourth acquisition of a cloud services related business.

Infosys grew 9.8% with revenues of $ 12.78 billion in last fiscal , while Tata Consultancy Services, India’s largest IT firm grew 7.1% to $ 22.03 billion. Smaller rivals Wipro grew 3.8% to $ 8.6 billion and Tech Mahindra by 4.3% to $ 5.18 billion.

NITES said this went against govt guidelines of not firing people or cutting salaries during the pandemic.

Manufacturers of appliances and consumer electronics are seeking lower taxes on eco-friendly and energy-efficient products, more incentives for domestic manufacturing and waiving of customs duty on inputs imported to make the components in the upcoming Union Budget.

The Budget doubled basic custom duty from 10% to 20% on whole lot of imported products such as food grinder, juicer, shaver, epilator, geyser, room heater, hair dryer, electric iron, oven, coffee and tea maker, toaster and ceiling fan. The custom duty on wall fan has been hiked from 7.5% to 20%.

Experts said it might take some more time before a wide spectrum of consumers, such as those in rural India, start spending.

Prices of TVs, ACs and some phones are set to go up as manufacturers grapple with component shortages.

While presenting the budget, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had proposed to hike the basic customs duty to 12.5 per cent from 10 per cent on compressor of refrigerator and air conditioner. In a residential AC, compressor and motor, which account for around 30 per cent of the price are imported, while sheet metal, coils and other are sourced locally.

China supplies several components for air conditioners made in India. Shortage of these components could affect AC production in India. "We are well stocked till the first week of April. But unless the supply from China is restored in the next couple of weeks, we could face a challenge in the production front after that," said C P Mukundan Menon of Blue Star.
