TCS Rolls Out 100% Variable Pay In Q1 To Over 70% Of Employees; Details
Tata Consultancy Services, India's largest IT services company, has announced 100% variable pay for more than 70% of its employees; Details
TCS Variable Pay 2025: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India's largest IT services company, has announced 100% variable pay for more than 70% of its employees for the April–June quarter, the Economic Times reported. For the remaining staff, payouts will be determined based on the performance of their respective business units.
'All employees up to C2 grade (or equivalent grades) covered under the QVA plan will receive 100% of the Quarterly Variable Allowance (QVA). The individual payout for the C3 grade and above may vary, depending on business performance," chief human resources officer Milind Lakkad stated in an internal email, as reviewed by ET.
TCS follows a structured grade hierarchy beginning with trainees at the Y level, moving up to systems engineer at C1, and then ascending through C2, C3 (A & B), C4, C5, and finally senior management levels. Those in the C3 and above bands are typically considered senior employees.
Despite timely quarterly variable payments, the company is yet to announce its annual wage hikes amid ongoing macroeconomic challenges that have weighed on its revenue in dollar terms for three consecutive quarters.
TCS added 5,060 employees in Q1 FY26, bringing its total workforce to nearly 613,000.
Krithivasan, however, remained cautiously optimistic, stating that discretionary tech investments — key drivers for software services firms — are expected to recover once macro clarity emerges.

The regulator received 4,959 fresh complaints in the month, and a total of 5,107 grievances remained unresolved at the end of June, slightly higher than the 4,563 charges that were pending as of May 31, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) said in a public notice on Friday. The regulator also highlighted that the average resolution time taken by the entities to submit the Action Taken Reports (ATRs) in June was eight days, while the average time taken for complaints under First Level Review was four days. SCORES, or Sebi Complaint Redressal System, is an online platform which facilitates investors in lodging and tracking complaints against listed companies and registered intermediaries. Under the SCORES 2.0 mechanism, complaints are automatically forwarded to the respective entities, which are required to respond within 21 days. If an investor is not satisfied, they have 15 days to seek a First Level Review. A similar review opportunity is available at the Second Level with the designated body and subsequently with Sebi, each within a 15-day window. Complaints are also treated as resolved if the investor chooses the Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) mechanism. In a separate public notice on Friday, Sebi said MCS Share Transfer Agent Ltd and Smartowner Capital Growth Trust were the entities whose investor complaints had remained unresolved for more than three months on its SCORES platform as of June 30.

Conman in judicial custody, multi-state fraud probe deepens
Agency: PTI Last Updated: Mangaluru, July 20 (PTI) Roshan Saldanha, a Mangaluru-based man accused of defrauding businessmen across several states of several crore rupees, has been remanded to judicial custody. The accused, who was arrested earlier this week, is facing multiple FIRs related to financial frauds, police said. Police produced Saldanha before a court on Saturday night, which ordered a judicial custody for him. Mangaluru South (CEN) police, who are already investigating two earlier cases involving Rs 11 crore and Rs 2 crore, have now received fresh complaints. A Maharashtra-based businessman alleged that Rs 5 crore was transferred to Saldanha's account on July 16. Similarly, a businessman from Assam claimed a loss of Rs 20 lakh on July 17. Police have since directed banks to freeze the accused's accounts. Chitradurga police may also seek his custody in connection with a separate case involving a Rs 40 crore fraud filed by an Andhra Pradesh businessman. Meanwhile, a Malaysian woman found at Saldanha's residence at the time of arrest is being processed for repatriation. Police said she has no role in the fraud. Her documents are being verified in coordination with the Ministry of External Affairs.
