New UK Visa rules, coming into action from this week, have created fears that they will hinder the rush of Indian workers coming to work in the UK. In addition, it will impact critical Indian investments in the UK too. According to the new measures, the gross salary package granted to a migrant must commeasure the salary given to a resident worker.

Commencing this news, reports say that delegates from Indian firms are anticipated to visit Britain and speak against the new measures. The new rules will require firms posting their workers to UK to pay salary equivalent to a British worker, a reason which has aroused the wrath of many firms in India.

There are many Indian companies who don’t have net assets to pay high cheques to the employers. The impact of these amendments would be visible in the months to come.

Another regulation, which has caused huge worries for Indian counterparts, is the withdrawal right to get a PR for applicants coming to the UK on intra-company transfers. According to Hindustan Times, the country has implemented this regulation without informing or consulting the Indian multinationals. This further will create huge problems.

According to Kenneth Clarke from the Conservative Party, it is mandatory to make sure that the Immigration process does not cause unnecessary delays in moving skilled workers here.

Stats say that Indian firms are second largest investing source in the UK, but the regulation would surely create huge impacts on the Indo-Britain Trade relationships.
