UK has sought India's opinion on the new migration policy, sending in a questionnaire, and the British authorities insist that the new policy will not affect business, students or tourist travels.

But the contours of the UK policy also come with political overtones as the new Liberal Democrat government tries to reverse the immigration policies of the Labour government.

New Delhi maintains that such immigration rules act as a barrier for emerging economies like India.
