Under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the company has been accused of cutting down the rules. TCS says that in the financial year 2026, it will reduce its workforce by 2 %.

When the country’s largest IT company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) announced the first time, there was a stir across the country. The company has announced that it will lay down 2 percent of its employees in the current financial year, which means that about 12 thousand people will have to lose their jobs. Now the Karnataka State IT Employees Union (KITU) has opposed this proposed layoffs and said that the company has violated the state rules. The Employees Union has even started a case against the company.
Kitu has filed an industrial dispute against the proposed trim of Tata Consultancy Services. Along with this, the Labor Department has also requested the management to take action against the violation of the conditions imposed by the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and the Government of Karnataka on service details reporting. Representatives of Kitu met Additional Labor Commissioner G Manjunath and have submitted a complaint citing complaints. It states that TCS’s proposed pruning is completely against the rules.
What is the rule of Karnataka government
Under the Industrial Disputes Act of Karnataka, companies that provide employment to more than 100 employees have to get prior approval of the government before any retrenchment or restructuring. Such tasks can be done only under specific reasons and clearly defined conditions in the Act. Kitu claimed that the TCS management has violated these provisions. The union has demanded immediate action from the Labor Department to ensure criminal action against the officials involved in the violations and justice for the affected employees.
Labor department started churning
Sources associated with the case say that the Labor Department has also planned a meeting to discuss the proposed layoffs with TCS management. However, its date has not been decided yet. The state labor minister has directed that this meeting should be held as soon as possible. On the other hand, the staff organization has demanded strict adherence to labor laws in the IT sector, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. He has warned that if action is not taken, it can become a dangerous example for the rights of employees in the state.
What is TCS management saying
The TCS has stated that the trimming is part of its future preparations strategy, including investment in technology, using AI, market expansion and restructuring of employees. Changes are going on at many levels in this direction. It is obvious that in this process, those employees who have not been able to be held, cannot be possible. This is the reason that about 2 percent of our total employee number will be affected.
Meanwhile, sources in the labor department say that soon a meeting will be held with TCS management. It will be discussed why the decision of the Leoff was taken in this way. The date is not yet set, but the Labor Minister of Karnataka has made it clear that there will be a meeting soon. At the same time, the union says that if there is a spray in this way by violating the rules, then this dangerous trend will be established for the future.
