“Infosys was recently fined (in 2024) Rs. 283 crore ($34 million) by US authorities for alleged visa fraud.”
What FACTLY found
The U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement announced in 2013 that Infosys paid Rs. 283 crore ($34 million) over charges of visa fraud. This old news is now being shared as recent. In 2017, the US fined Infosys $1 million for violating visa rules in New York State. There are no recent reports suggesting that Infosys has been fined by US authorities for alleged visa fraud.
