In January this year, TCS had reported a drop in its headcount by about 5,000 people due to attrition, and the company has been able to reverse this in a small measure in the January-March quarter.
The TCS hiring comes alongside software major
Infosys
pursuing a similar hiring exercise.
Infosys
had, last month, put out an internal mail saying it was looking for people across 40+ skill sets, including cloud computing, cyber security, Java Python, DotNet, Android/IoS development, and automation testing. The company was looking for people with a minimum of two years of experience.
Sources, however, said the upcoming recruitment was part of the company's lateral hiring programme it conducts annually. Infosys had said earlier that it planned to hire 20,000 freshers next fiscal year, without disclosing a break-up between freshers and lateral hires. The Bengaluru-headquartered software giant has about 323,000 employees on its roster.

Infosys gets huge relief on GST as DGGI closes ₹32,400-crore pre-show cause notice
In a major relief for Infosys, the Director General of GST Intelligence has closed pre-show cause notice proceedings against the company for financial years 2018-19 to 2021-22 involving a staggering ₹32,403 crore in GST dues. The latest move effectively ends nearly a year-long GST saga for India's second-largest IT services firm. Mid-last year, the goods and services tax (GST) authorities had slapped ₹32,403 crore notice on Infosys for services availed by the company from its overseas branches for five years starting 2017. The GST demand, in fact, exceeds Infosys's annual profits — Infosys's net profit for full FY25 stood at ₹26,713 crore — and its closure now is bound to come as a significant relief for the tech major. Also Read | After ₹32,000 crore demand to Infosys, government said to mull GST notices to other IT majors The Bengaluru-headquartered company, in a BSE filing, said with the receipt of the latest communication from DGGI "this matter stands closed". 'In continuation to our earlier communications on July 31, 2024, August 1, 2024 and August 3,2024 on GST, this is to inform that the company has today received a communication from the Director General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) closing the pre-show cause notice proceedings for the financial years 2018-19 to 2021-22,' the company said in the filing late Friday (June 6, 2025) evening. Infosys, which competes with the likes of TCS, Wipro and others for global IT contracts, said it had received and responded to a pre-show cause notice issued by DGGI for the period July 2017 to March 2022 on the issue of non-payment of IGST under Reverse Charge Mechanism. 'The GST amount as per the pre-show cause notice for this period was Rs 32,403 crore. The company had on August 3, 2024 received a communication from DGGI closing the pre-show cause notice proceedings for the financial year 2017-2018. With the receipt of today's communication from DGGI, this matter stands closed,' Infosys said. Also Read | Nasscom defends Infosys, says ₹32,000-cr. GST notice shows lack of understanding of industry model In July last year, Infosys had informed that Karnataka State GST authorities issued a pre-show cause notice for payment of GST of ₹32,403 crores for the period July 2017 to March 2022 towards the expenses incurred by overseas branch offices of Infosys Ltd, and added that the company has responded to the pre-show cause notice. 'The company has also received a pre-show cause notice from Director General of GST Intelligence on the same matter and the company is in the process of responding to the same,' the filing of July 2024 had said. All along, Infosys maintained that GST is not applicable on these expenses. 'Additionally, as per a recent circular issued by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs on the recommendations of the GST Council, services provided by the overseas branches to Indian entity are not subject to GST,' Infosys had argued back in July 2024. The tech firm had asserted GST payments are eligible for credit or refund against export of IT services. 'Infosys has paid all its GST dues and is fully in compliance with the central and state regulations on this matter,' the company had contended. The document sent to Infosys by GST authorities at that point had reportedly said, 'In lieu of receipt of supplies from overseas branch offices, the company has paid consideration to the branch offices in the form of overseas branch expense. Hence, M/s Infosys Ltd, Bengaluru is liable to pay IGST under reverse charge mechanism on supplies received from branches located outside India to the tune of Rs 32,403.46 crores for the period 2017-18 (July 2017 onwards) to 2021-22.' The Directorate General of GST Intelligence in Bengaluru had been of the opinion that Infosys did not pay the Integrated-GST (IGST) on the import of services as a recipient of services. For the just-ended March quarter, Infosys reported an 11.7 per cent decline in consolidated net profit to ₹7,033 crore mainly on account of compensation to employees, and acquisitions during the reported period. The company has guided for a revenue growth of 0% to 3% in constant currency terms in the current fiscal year, citing uncertainty in the environment. For the full FY25, profits saw a marginal increase of 1.8% to ₹26,713 crore; revenues climbed 6.06% to reach ₹1,62,990 crore - exceeding its guidance of 4.5% to 5% for the full FY25.
