Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS) will extend long-delayed annual salary increases to roughly 80% of its employees—those up to grade C3A, from freshers to assistant consultants—starting 1 September, Reuters reported, citing an internal email.
The hike, originally due in April, was postponed by five months due to what the company called “the uncertain business environment.”
The move comes weeks after TCS announced plans to cut more than 12,000 mid- and senior-level jobs, or around 2% of its global workforce.
The layoffs reflect a strategic shift toward expanding junior and mid-level talent while trimming higher-level roles amid rising automation and pressure on margins.
India’s largest IT services firm has been contending with slower client decision-making, weak global demand, and the operational changes required to integrate artificial intelligence into delivery models.
Attrition stood at 13.8% in June, the highest in two years. The salary revision, effective next month, applies only to eligible staff in grades up to C3A.
TCS has not provided details on pay hikes for the remaining 20% of employees, primarily senior-level staff.
