High attrition rates caused alarm bells in the market


Mumbai: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) will pay the variable costs such as
bonuses and dividends to its employees for the June quarter in August.
Reportedly, the scheduled time for the payment was July. But there has been a
delay in the payment.

It was also reported recently that IT major Wipro also went on to halt its
variable costs for a category of its employees. In a statement to ET NOW Wipro
said "There is no change to our earlier statement on salary increase, and
hikes for our employees will be effective from September 1, 2022. We have also
completed the first cycle of quarterly progressions effective July 1, 2022. We
have no further comments on the quantum of variable pay.”

Meanwhile, according to a TeamLease report, hiring intent rose to 61% for the
July-September quarter, from 54% in April-June 2022. However, the new hires
are likely to be for entry-level and junior roles, where the intent to hire is
highest. The hiring intent drops progressively for mid-level jobs, hitting the
lowest for senior positions, according to TeamLease’s Q2 Employment Outlook
Reports

While speaking to ET Now, TeamLease , Chief Financial Officer, Ramani Dathi


says we have started seeing a hiking trend getting tapered, the news around
holding hikes and variable pay is also supporting this argument. Meanwhile,
NIIT its commentary for last month said Hiring in IT companies is at a
multi-year high driven by growth in digital, transformational orders and an
uptick in attrition. Sapnesh Lalla, CEO and Executive Director, NIIT Ltd also
spoke to ET NOW today and said ‘It is going to become hard for the
organisation to pay high salaries given the uncertainty around the demand
side’

Consumer momentum unlikely to derail as IT firms rationalise salary


payouts
(Business Standard) -- Consumption-related stocks are unlikely to take a big
knock as companies, especially the ones in the information technology (IT)
sector, look to rationalise costs over the next few quarters, said analysts,
who believe the delay in variable pay payment and bonuses will largely be
restricted to the IT sector. ALSO READ: IT industry's 'people' conundrum may
delay its revenue growth targets "There has been a disproportionate rise in
the employee cost for IT companies that I have not seen in the last 20 years,"
said G Chokkalingam, founder and chief investment officer at Equinomics
Research. The industry, he said, will succeed in rationalising the rising
employee cost going ahead as it is a collective effort across large-and
mid-sized firms. ALSO READ: IT services companies' salary costs growing faster
than revenues “The revenue (in dollar terms) has grown just 3 - 4 per cent in
the last few quarters for IT firms, which is hugely disproportionate to the
employee salaries being paid by these companies. The IT sector is a part of a
larger services industry where human resource is a raw material. For other
companies within the services sector, such as telecom and BFSI, human
resources is not that big a component of the total cost structure. Hence, this
phenomenon of deferring variable pay will not be as percolate to other
sectors. Even if it does, the intensity may not be as severe," he said. ALSO
READ: Infosys cuts average variable payout to 70% for Q1 on margin pressure
Over the last few days, frontline information technology (IT) companies –
Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Wipro – are delaying variable
payout to employees, reports suggest. C-suite Level at Wipro, according to
reports, will not get any portion of variable pay, while employee grades
between freshers to team leaders will get 70 per cent of the total variable
pay. A similar action was undertaken by TCS that has delayed the variable pay
for senior employees for the first quarter of fiscal 2022-23 (FY23). An
analysis of the quarterly numbers announced by India Inc suggests that the
employee cost rose to Rs 3.46 trillion in the recently concluded quarter, a
year-on-year (YoY) increase of 13.36 per cent. For IT firms, employee costs
grew at a faster clip – up 20.3 per cent YoY to Rs 1.02 trillion in the June
2022 quarter. ALSO READ: Wipro holds back employees' variable pay due to
pressure on margins More money in the hands of employees meant more spending.
The markets, on their part, took note of this development and most
consumption-related stocks did well in 2022. In the last six months, the Nifty
Consumption index has rallied 12 per cent as compared to the 3 per cent surge
in the Nifty50 index, data showed. Consumption-related sectors, according to A
K Prabhakar, head of research at IDBI Capital will continue to do well as the
employee cost rationalisation will be restricted to the IT sector only. The
delay in variable pay to IT sector employees, he believes, will not be
meaningful enough to dent the overall demand in the economy. “The only concern
in my view is that the rural demand is not picking up, which can dampen
sentiment a bit. But overall, the consumption story still remains strong in
India as the economy picks up. Among the lot, I like Jubilant FoodWorks,
Devyani International, Indian Hotels, Mahindra Holiday, Lemon Tree, Trent and
Titan Company. HUL, ITC, Britannia, Dabur, Marico should also do well as
commodity costs come off and the overall demand remains robust,” Prabhakar
said. -0- Aug/23/2022 06:04:00 GMT -0- Aug/23/2022 18:33 GMT

(Economic Times) -- India’s largest information technology (IT) firm TCS will

reported that the IT major had delayed its June variable compensation payout
by a month for some employees. We delve deep into this development and other

^TCS to roll out 100% variable pay for employees


Days after reports surfaced that information technology (IT) firm Tata
Consultancy Services (TCS) has delayed the June variable compensation payout
by a month for some employees, the country’s largest IT firm, said on Tuesday
it will pay out 100% variable pay for its 600,000 plus employee base.

We reported on August 20 that the Tata Group company has delayed the variable
payout for C3A, C3B, C4, and equivalent grades by a month. These are employees
at the assistant consultant, associate consultant, and consultant levels. The
money due to be paid in July will be paid by August-end, according to an
internal email accessed by ET.

From the horse’s mouth: “Variable pay is either paid in month one or month two
as per the normal process and there is no delay in this process. 100% VA is
being paid for Q1,” TCS said in a statement. Previously, the company had said
its compensation and bonus cycle was running as planned.

Sources stated that over 90% of the employees have received their variable
payout.

Dipping margins: During the June quarter results, all Indian IT majors had
indicated a strong demand environment but reported severe margin contraction
due to high employee costs. According to analysts, some companies are taking
cautionary measures to curtail performance payout to conserve cash.

TCS’ decision comes at a time when its smaller peers Infosys and Wipro have
reduced or suspended variable pay rollout for employees owing to margin
pressure.

IT peers cut variable pay: We reported on Tuesday that Infosys has given out
70% variable pay on average to employees for the June quarter amid pressure on

the Bengaluru-based company’s operating margin.

Last week, Wipro, too, said in an email that employees belonging to C bands
and above (managers to C-suite level) will not receive any variable payouts,
while associates in A & B bands (freshers to team leader levels) will receive
70% of target variable pay.

^Apple's plan to make in India


Two months after the iPhone 14 is first made available in China, Apple Inc.
intends to begin producing the device in India, according to a Bloomberg
report on Tuesday.

Apple has long made most of its iPhones in China and has been seeking
alternatives amid the Chinese government's clashes with the US and other
factors including recent lockdowns to curb the spread of the virus

Tell me more: According to the report, which cited people with knowledge of
the situation, the company has been collaborating with suppliers to increase
production in India and reduce the time it takes to produce new iPhones from
the usual six to nine months for previous launches.

ET had reported earlier that Apple could be evaluating shipping its upcoming
iPhone 14 from India.

While in the short term, India's iPhone capacities/shipments still have a


considerable gap with China, it is an important milestone for Apple as it will
be building a non-Chinese iPhone production site.

The India blueprint: The US-based company has been gradually ramping up the
production of iPhones in India. Currently, its devices are manufactured in
India by three contract manufacturers — Foxconn (Hon Hai), Wistron and
Pegatron. The three Apple partners are part of the Indian government's
production-linked incentive scheme for mobile manufacturing. They need to make
products worth a minimum of Rs 8,000 crore each this year to get the
incentives.
The timeline: After the first release in September, the first iPhone 14s from
India will probably be finished in late October or November. An ambitious
target would be Diwali which begins on October 24, one person told the news
agency.

Back-to-work pangs: Apple employees have hit back at the tech giant's
return-to-office orders and launched a petition saying the firm risked
stifling diversity and staff wellbeing by restricting their ability to work
remotely.

The petition is in response to an all-employee memo from the CEO Tim Cook, who
last week said workers would have to come into the office for at least three
days a week from September, citing the Financial Times, the New York Post
reported.

^Elon Musk seeks documents from Jack Dorsey in battle with Twitter
Twitter Inc misled federal regulators about its security defenses and spam
accounts, CNN and the Washington Post reported on Tuesday, citing
whistleblower disclosures by the company's former security chief Peiter Zatko
last month with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of
Justice, as well as the Federal Trade Commission

Citing Zatko, CNN reported Twitter executives don't have the resources to
fully understand the true number of bots on the platform, and were not
motivated to.

The allegations: Zatko accused Twitter, its chief executive Parag Agrawal and
other executives and directors of “extensive legal violations,” including
making misleading statements to users, misrepresentations to investors and
acting with “negligence and even complicity” toward efforts by foreign
governments to infiltrate the platform.

The India angle: The former security head’s complaint says he believed the
Indian government had forced Twitter to put one of its agents on the payroll,
with access to user data at a time of intense protests in the country.

The complaint said supporting information for that claim has gone to the
National Security Division of the Justice Department and the Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence. Another person familiar with the matter agreed that
the employee was probably an agent."

Earlier in the day, the Musk vs Twitter battle took a new turn when the Tesla
CEO - also the prospective buyer of Twitter - sought documents from Twitter
co-founder Jack Dorsey.
Driving the news: Musk is looking to secure documents about his April
agreement to buy Twitter and the number of spam accounts on the platform from
Dorsey, who resigned as Twitter’s chief executive in November. Musk and Dorsey
are long-time friends, and Dorsey has even supported Musk’s bid to buy Twitter
in the past.

^Netflix ramps up hiring for its cloud gaming ambitions


Streaming giant Netflix has intensified hiring plans for its cloud gaming
division as it looks to challenge cloud-gaming rivals such as Sony
PlayStation, Google Stadia, Apple Arcade and Amazon Luna.

Here are the details: According to Protocol, a technology-tracking website,


the company is looking for a security product manager with experience in
handling “cloud gaming challenges”, a rendering engineer who can support
Netflix's “cloud gaming service”, and other similar positions.

Netflix has been doubling down on the gaming space over the last few months.
In March, it acquired Boss Fight — its third gaming studio in the last six
months and has released a couple of mobile games, including two based on its
popular IP, Stranger Things. It plans to launch at least 50 more games by the
end of this year.

be around 25%
 TCS indicated that it is planning to hire 40,000 freshers in FY23, which would
help in pyramid optimisation.

horizons where horizon 1 pertains to moving one’s onsite applications to

are termed as Horizon 2 (cloud native application development) and Horizon
3 (end to end ecosystem play for sectors like pharma, manufacturing, etc)

N Ganapathy Subramaniam, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director, said: “We are pleased with our
execution during the quarter wherein we successfully delivered several transformation programs. The investments we
made on people, upskilling efforts and select lateral hiring et al helped manage the talent turnover with minimum
impact on our operations. During the quarter, we have resumed in-person meetings, and hosted several clients at our
facilities. We are bringing in more of our associates back to our development centres, and it is steadily increasing at
all levels. On the sustainability front, we have signed our commitment to SBTi version 5 standards during the quarter
and are making steady progress towards our net zero journey with tremendous alignment to this initiative across our
associates.”

Samir Seksaria, Chief Financial Officer, said: “It has been a challenging quarter from a cost management
perspective. Our Q1 operating margin of 23.1% reflects the impact of our annual salary increase, the elevated cost of
managing the talent churn and gradually normalizing travel expenses. However, our longer-term cost structures and
relative competitiveness remain unchanged, and position us well to continue on our profitable growth trajectory.”

Milind Lakkad, Chief HR Officer, said: “Our investment in strategic talent development initiatives and the linking of
learning to career development have energized our workforce. Following our annual compensation review,
employees received salary increases of 5 to 8%, with top performers getting even bigger hikes. Our empowering,
performance-driven work culture is helping us attract local talent across all our key markets. Continued hiring
momentum resulted in a milestone quarter, with the employee strength crossing the 600,000 mark.”

THE INDUSTRY

NOVEMBER, 2021

Introduction

The global sourcing market in India continues to grow at a higher pace compared to the IT-BPM industry. India is the
leading sourcing destination across the world, accounting for approximately 55% market share of the US$ 200-250
billion global services sourcing business in 2019-20.

The IT industry accounted for 8% of India’s GDP in 2020. According to STPI (Software Technology Park of India),
software exports by the IT companies connected to it, stood at Rs. 1.20 lakh crore (US$ 16.29 billion) in the first
quarter of FY22.

The IT & business service industry’s revenue was estimated at ~US$ 6.96 billion in the first half of 2021, an increase
of 6.4% YoY. The export revenue of the IT industry is estimated at US$ 150 billion in FY21. According to Gartner
estimates, IT spending in India is estimated to reach US$ 93 billion in 2021 (7.3% YoY growth) and further increase

by Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT). Japanese investments in the Indian IT sector
grew 4X between 2016 and 2020. Investments stood at US$ 9.2 billion in the review period.

To the Board of Directors of Tata Consultancy Services Limited
Report on the audit of the Consolidated Financial Results

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying Statement of Consolidated Financial Results of Tata Consultancy

c. gives a true and fair view in conformity with the applicable accounting standards, and other accounting
principles generally accepted in India, of consolidated net profit and other comprehensive loss and
other financial information of the Group for the quarter ended 30 June 2022.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SAs”) specified under section
143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”). Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described
in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results section of our report.
We are independent of the Group, in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the
financial statements under the provisions of the Act, and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our
other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe
that the audit evidence we have obtained, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion
on the consolidated financial results.

Management’s and Board of Directors’ Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Results

These quarterly consolidated financial results have been prepared on the basis of the consolidated interim
financial statements.
The Holding Company’s Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and

with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, ‘Interim

Independent Auditor’s Report (Continued)


Tata Consultancy Services Limited
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation
of the consolidated financial results by the Management and the Board of Directors of the Holding
Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the consolidated financial results, the respective Management and the Board of Directors of
the entities included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of each entity to continue as a
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the entity or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the entities included in the Group is responsible for overseeing the
financial reporting process of each entity.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial results as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
these consolidated financial results.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
– Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial results, whether
due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting
a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
– Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
– Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures in the consolidated financial results made by the Management and
Board of Directors.
– Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors’ use of the going
concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
appropriateness of this assumption. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial results
or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may
cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
– Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial results, including
the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial results represent the underlying transactions
and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities
included in the consolidated financial results of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among
other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any
significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.

Independent Auditors’ Report


To the Board of Directors of Tata Consultancy Services Limited
Report on the audit of the Standalone Financial Results

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone quarterly financial results of Tata Consultancy Services
Limited (“the Company”) for the quarter ended 30 June 2022, attached herewith, being submitted by the
Company pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India
(Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended ("Listing
Regulations").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, these
standalone financial results:
a. are presented in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations in this
regard; and
b. give a true and fair view in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in
the applicable accounting standards, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of
the net profit and other comprehensive loss and other financial information for the quarter ended 30
June 2022.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SAs”) specified under section
143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”). Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described
in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results section of our report. We
are independent of the Company, in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the
financial statements under the provisions of the Act, and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our
other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe
that the audit evidence we have obtained, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Management’s and Board of Directors’ Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Results

These quarterly financial results have been prepared on the basis of the interim financial statements.
The Company’s Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of these
standalone financial results that give a true and fair view of the net profit/ loss and other comprehensive
income and other financial information in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles
laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ prescribed under Section 133
of the Act and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation
33 of the Listing Regulations. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting
records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and
for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate
accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design,
implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively
for ensuring accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and
presentation of the standalone financial results that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial results, the Management and the Board of Directors are responsible
for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors
Registered Office:

B S R & Co. (a partnership firm with Registration No. BA61223) converted into B S R & Co. LLP (a 14th Floor, Central B Wing and North C Wing, Nesco IT Park 4, Nesco

Independent Auditor’s Report (Continued)


Tata Consultancy Services Limited
either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial results as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
these standalone financial results.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
– Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial results, whether due
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting
a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
– Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the company’s internal control.
– Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures in the standalone financial results made by the Management and
Board of Directors.
– Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors’ use of the going
concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial
results or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on
the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions
may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
– Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial results, including
the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial results represent the underlying transactions
and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control
that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.

Other Matter(s)

a. Attention is drawn to the fact that the figures for the 3 months ended 31 March 2022 as reported in
these standalone financial results are the balancing figures between audited figures in respect of the
full previous financial year and the published audited year to date figures up to the third quarter of the

investments we made on people, upskilling efforts and select lateral hiring et al helped manage the talent
turnover with minimum impact on our operations. During the quarter, we have resumed in-person meetings,
and hosted several clients at our facilities. We are bringing in more of our associates back to our development
centres, and it is steadily increasing at all levels. On the sustainability front, we have signed our commitment
to SBTi version 5 standards during the quarter and are making steady progress towards our net zero journey
with tremendous alignment to this initiative across our associates.”
Samir Seksaria, Chief Financial Officer, said: “It has been a challenging quarter from a cost management
perspective. Our Q1 operating margin of 23.1% reflects the impact of our annual salary increase, the elevated
cost of managing the talent churn and gradually normalizing travel expenses. However, our longer-term cost
structures and relative competitiveness remain unchanged, and position us well to continue on our profitable
growth trajectory.”
Milind Lakkad, Chief HR Officer, said: “Our investment in strategic talent development initiatives and the
linking of learning to career development have energized our workforce. Following our annual compensation
review, employees received salary increases of 5 to 8%, with top performers getting even bigger hikes. Our
empowering, performance-driven work culture is helping us attract local talent across all our key markets.
Continued hiring momentum resulted in a milestone quarter, with the employee strength crossing the 600,000
mark.”

Annual Report on CSR Activities

1. Brief outline on CSR Policy of the Company

The Company believes that all are born with equal potential but not equal opportunity. TCS’ vision is to empower people and communities, building self-reliance through
purpose and technology while ensuring the values of fairness, equity and respect for human rights. The Company remains steadfast in its mission to connect people to
opportunities in the digital economy while building equitable, inclusive pathways for all – especially women, youth and marginalized groups.

TCS, through various CSR initiatives and programs across globe, continues to invest in addressing the most pressing needs of the community. The primary focus areas
are education, skilling, employment and entrepreneurship with a focus on bridging the opportunity gap for people and communities. The Company invests in basic health
and wellness, water sanitation and hygiene, conservation and disaster relief efforts to support the basic needs of communities across the globe.

By applying its resources towards communities that need it the most, TCS ensures equitable access. The Company’s CSR strategy incorporates an inclusive approach
into the design of every program. In India this is aligned to its support of the Government of India’s Affirmative Action Policy and the Tata Group’s Affirmative Action
Program.

With a view to grow the capacity of grassroot organizations and the knowledge base of community issues, TCS also invests in strategic partnerships, research and
insights and in providing pro-bono technology consulting.

To achieve transformational impact, TCS leverages the best of the Company’s capabilities – its intellectual, technology, human and financial capital. TCS aims to create
innovative solutions to societal challenges applying its contextual knowledge while harnessing the expertise of a diverse network of leaders; execute and scale programs
using its technology capabilities; engage its large employee base to volunteer their time, skills and expertise as last-mile connectors and make impact investments in
large scale, sustainable, multi-year programs that empower communities.

The projects undertaken are within the broad framework of Schedule VII to the Act. Details of the CSR policy and projects or programs undertaken by the Company are

INTRODUCTION

Tata Consultancy Services (“TCS” or “We”) is an Information Technology (IT) services,


consulting and business solutions provider that has been partnering with the world’s largest
businesses in their transformation journeys for over 50 years. TCS offers a consulting-led,
cognitive powered, integrated portfolio of business, technology and engineering services and
solutions. It operates in 55 countries and delivers these services through its unique Location-
Independent Agile delivery model, recognized as a benchmark of excellence in software
development.

TCS' proactive stance on climate change and award-winning work with local communities
across the world have earned it much goodwill and a place in leading sustainability indices
such as the MSCI Global Sustainability Index and the FTSE4Good Emerging Index. Its
community outreach programs seek to bridge the opportunity gap for people and
communities, with a primary focus on education, skilling, employment, and entrepreneurship.
Additionally, it supports community programs around basic health and wellness, water
sanitation and hygiene, conservation, and disaster relief.

Besides these CSR initiatives, TCS contributes to the economic development of local
communities by creating high quality, well-paying jobs that support the local economy and
expand the tax base, and through the direct and indirect taxes that it pays to local and national
governments.

This tax strategy document sets out TCS approach to managing its tax affairs and the risks
associated with them. It is guided by our governance philosophy of upholding the highest
standards of responsible corporate citizenship in the communities and countries that we
operate in, while serving the interests of our customers, employees, partners, and other
stakeholders, to protect our reputation and strengthen the TCS brand.

TCS TAX STRATEGY

The TCS tax strategy, is as follows:

• We act in accordance with and seek to comply with relevant tax laws and obligations in all
the jurisdictions we operate in and accordingly pay our fair share of taxes in respective
countries.

• We have established robust tax risk management processes that enable the identification,
assessment, management, and mitigation of key tax risks, along with accurate recording
and reporting.

• We do not engage in tax evasion, nor planning that aims to achieve results that are contrary
to the legislations.

• We believe in an open and constructive dialogue with tax authorities and seek to foster
cooperative and trusted relationships.

• We support the principle of transparency and accordingly adequate disclosures are made
in the financial statements to communicate appropriate information regarding our tax
matters clearly to all stakeholders.

COMMITMENT TO COMPLIANCE

TCS is committed to complying with statutory tax obligations in all the jurisdictions in which
it operates in a responsible manner. This includes:

• Filing accurate, timely tax returns as well as settling any tax obligations as required

• Disclosure of relevant facts and circumstances to tax authorities.

TAX RISK MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE

TCS philosophy on corporate governance oversees business strategies and ensures fiscal
accountability, ethical corporate behavior and fairness to all stakeholders comprising
regulators, employees, customers, vendors, investors, and society at large.

Our tax risk management, governance, and controls include measures and tools to ensure
that we can identify, assess, manage, and mitigate any operational reporting, financial
reporting, and compliance tax risks in all the countries we operate in.

The tax strategy is regularly reviewed by the management to ensure that the people,
processes, and technology deployed are appropriate to manage our current tax matters

TCS is committed to acting with integrity and transparency. TCS tax strategy and policies seek
to make use of appropriate reliefs to control the tax costs. TCS transactions are driven basis
commercial rationale and the company’s economic activity and not for the main purpose of
gaining a tax advantage.

We do not use artificial tax avoidance schemes or tax havens to reduce the tax liabilities or
take an aggressive interpretation of tax legislations. We seek external tax advice in certain
situations where we believe there is uncertainty with respect to the application of the tax
laws, to ensure that we do not suffer any unforeseen or unreasonable tax outcomes.

CONSTRUCTIVE APPROACH TO ENGAGE WITH TAX AUTHORITIES

TCS is committed to building open and collaborative relationships and to following a policy of
transparency with tax authorities to remove uncertainty from its business transactions and to
settle its tax affairs in a timely and fair manner.

521 / 522
For the exclusive use of SAIBAL RAY of NL DALMIA INST OF MGMT STD & RSRC

Where the TCS considers that a significant risk or uncertainty exists, TCS seeks advance
clearance from tax authorities on the proposed tax treatment of transactions, these offer an
opportunity for early resolution and minimizing the risk of future disputes.

We proactively and constructively engage in dialogue with governments, intergovernmental


organizations, and industry groups to support the development of tax systems that are fair,
transparent, efficient, effective, administrable, and sustainable.

All dealings with the tax authorities and other relevant bodies are conducted in a
collaborative, courteous, timely manner and in compliance with the Tata group’s Tata Code
of Conduct.
