  • TCS has implemented variable pay cuts for senior employees for the third straight quarter, citing its attendance-based policy.
  • Over 70% of TCS employees received 100% of their Quarterly Variable Allowance (QVA) for the January–March 2025 quarter.
  • The QVA for the remaining 30% of employees is tied to the performance of their respective business units, as per TCS's policy.
  • Annual salary increments, typically announced in the first quarter, have been delayed due to global economic and tariff-related uncertainties.
