Milind Lakkad, CHRO of TCS had rolled out the email to all employees that “a decision has been taken to pay 100% of the quarterly variable pay (QVA) to all employees up to C2 or equivalent grades covered under this plan.”

The email further added that the individual payout for C3A or equivalent grades and above may vary depending on the business unit's performance.

An employee of the company explained that C3A grade and above at TCS houses mid to senior-level employees. He explained, “C2 grade has employees with a minimum 4 years experience, so relatively they are not very senior. Above that is a C3A grade. The positions start with Assistant Consultant. C3A is sort of entry into mid-level and above that is mid to senior level positions.”

In Q2 FY 2022-23, the company released variable pay to 70% of employees, while others had been awarded variable pay as per business unit performance.

Moreover, the firm had also recently announced that the firm is gearing up to hire 1.25 lakh techies in India.
