Government finds out: 25,000 Chinese entered India on business visas but are in unskilled jobs
In a massive screening exercise of Chinese working on Indian projects, the government has identified close to 25,000 such workers who are on business visas but have been doing unskilled and semi-skilled jobs. A deadline of September 30 has been set for these workers to either return or apply for a legitimate employment visa.
To avoid further confusion in future, the Home Ministry, in a meeting with industry representatives, made it clear that no Indian company has the right to enter into an obligation in a contract with a Chinese company for bringing labour from there. The government is of the view that this involves sovereign issues and no entity, private or public, can insert this on its own in a commercial contract.
As a result, Chinese companies are now complaining because labour was one key advantageous segment for them in every bid and allowed them to offer lower costs compared to competitors.
