To a query on whether the Indian government and IT companies were lobbying on the issue with the US government, he said, "Whether it is our customers (in the US) or whether it is our own government or NASSCOM, we are all ensuring that we provide these perspectives to the decision makers there".

"Our Ambassador (Nirupama Rao) is actively working (on this issue). Government of India at the senior levels has written to their counterparts in US. I don't think any country wants discriminatory bills to come in. They do not want this to become a trade issue", he said.

Mittal said Indians working in US for several IT companies have contributed more than $15 billion in taxes and social security in the last five years.

"So we are creating jobs there as well. We have to ensure during the negotiations (before passing the bill), negative provisions do not come. Our hope is on the process of legislation in the US. That is the way democracy works".

Stating that the process (of passing the bill) would take about five months, he said, "We have enough opportunities to get our view point (to the US Government)".
