New Delhi: Perturbed by the moves in the US to put fresh visa restrictions on IT personnel, India on June 5 said it would soon take up the contentious issue with the authorities in Washington as it was creating 'trade distortions'.

"I will take it (Visa restriction issue) with the US when I visit the country next week," Commerce and Law Minister Arun Jaitley told reporters.

Terming the proposed legal measures for restricting movement of software personnel from India through L-1 Visa as 'non-tariff barrier', Jaitley said on the contrary India would seek further relaxation on existing Visa conditions for freer movement of service sector professionals to boost bilateral trade.
