H 1b Auditing: TCS face the Senate heat at 5,505 hours 1B while cutting American jobs

Tata Consultance Services (TCS), the largest information technology services company in India, is subject to auditing from two senior American Senate members due to employment practices. In a letter addressed to CEO KRITHIVASAN, Charles Grasli, Chairman of the Senate Judicial Committee and classification member Richard Durbin, raised concerns about the company’s dependence on H-1B visa workers while placing American employees.

The message, which was history on September 24, 2025, highlights that TCS may apply to more than 12,000 employees worldwide-including approximately 60 in its office in Jacksonville-even with the continued submission of thousands of H-1B visa courses, according to Pti a report. For the 2025 fiscal year, TCS obtained approval to employ 5,505 H-1B workers, making it the second largest employer for the new H-1B visa recipient in the United States.

“At the same time, you were dropping American employees, I have provided H-1B visa sits to thousands of foreign workers,” I mentioned the message.

Senate members have asked about the logical basis of the company in searching for foreign technology workers when, according to them, hundreds of thousands of American technology specialists remain unemployed. They wrote: “With all the local American talents that have fallen to the side lines, we find it difficult to believe that TCS cannot find qualified American technology workers to fill these positions.”

The letter also indicated that the TCS continuous employment committee claims the alleged to replace the older American workers with H-1B employees in South Asia, warning that the current recruitment strategy “does not do any preferences” during this investigation.

Grassley and Dorbin asked nine detailed questions, looking for clarity about whether American workers have been displaced, and whether TCS controls employment for employment companies at the third party, and if the H-1B is renifying the equality of wages and benefits like their American counterparts. They also asked whether TCS hides the H-1B functions separately from the general lists.

TCS was asked to reply by data by October 10, 2025.

Auditing coincides with a broader regulatory tightening about H-1B visas. President Donald Trump has recently signed a declaration to raise the H-1B visa fees to $ 100,000, starting from the fiscal year 27-height from currently $ 2,000 to $ 5,000. Financial analysts expect the sharp rise to pushing information technology companies either increases external operations or enhancing local employment.
