TCS Salaries in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

Job security is a big plus. Decent work life balance. No of employees to do a work would always be 1.5 times than the actual people required to do the required work hence less load on an individual.

Dislikes

One would always be crying about the pay one gets irrespective of number of years they spend in TCS. Promotions come in very late- spend the valuable years of your life grinding the same things again and again.

Job security and flexibility.

Dislikes

The salary hike is a joke. B band gets 5% and C gets 3%. A gets 8% to 12% (if your boss recommends higher pay hike so there's no way to guys getting A band are treated equally based on their performance. Promotions are not merit based. So you have to ask for it, make noise and keep following up. If you're an introvert, forget your promotion. HR policies are strictly enforced in the letter. Not even HR knows the spirit of the rules. Someone on the bench is asked to travel 45kms one way to spend 9 hours in the office only for the compliance to RTO rules. TCS cares is a myth. Values are only for the media and on paper and for the associates to follow. Leadership level thoughts are different.

The status, being a part of Tata company and job security was the only good part I can remember

Dislikes

...they will help you with nothing. No Appraisal or appreciation for young talents. Salary hike is literally so bad, there will no zeal left in you to work hard. Buttering your manager is considered the only option to get promotion in the company and it's a fact. And if you are genuinely hardworking you might get Appraisal but after many many years.
