The Labour Commissioner of Pune has summoned Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in response to multiple complaints filed by the Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES) regarding the company’s plans to lay off 2% of its workforce.
The hearing has been scheduled for November 18, 2025.
“Over the past several months, NITES has received a large number of complaints from TCS employees across various locations regarding abrupt terminations, forced resignations, denial of statutory dues, and coercive employment practices. After reviewing the grievances and supporting documents, NITES assisted the affected employees in filing formal complaints before the competent authority,” NITES posted on X on November 15, 2025.
“The initiation of proceedings by the Labour Commissioner reinforces that every employer is legally bound to follow due process and cannot act in violation of labour laws,” the union added. Over the past few months, NITES has filed numerous complaints with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, alleging that TCS has laid off nearly 2,500 mid- to senior-level employees in Pune.
In October 2025, TCS denied the claims surrounding its layoffs in Pune, stating, “The misinformation shared here is inaccurate and purposefully mischievous. Only a limited number of employees have been affected by our recent initiative to realign skills in our organisation.”
