Ohio's ban to be counter productive to US: NASSCOM

Bangalore, Sep 9: Indian IT industry reacted disgracefully to Ohio state's decision to ban outsourcing and termed the Ohio's stand as "discriminative."

"Ohio's ban on outsourcing can only be viewed as counter-productive to the US government thrust on reducing public deficit and possibly lead to an increased tax burden on its citizens," said NASSCOM.

Expressing their concern over the issue, the company informed that they would take up the issue to US by the end of Sep 2010 and would ask help from union minister for Industry and Commerce Anand Sharma.

Supporting NASSCOM stand, Indian IT giant, Infosys also expressed its concern over the Ohio's bill to ban offshoring of IT services.
