TCS Comes Under U.S. Radar: Why And How?

The United States administration is going particularly hard against immigration policies and also the equal employment regulations that are in effect in the country. This restriction has now landed Indian software giant TCS in trouble with the United States equal employment department, and here is a detailed look into this story.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India�s largest IT services company, is currently under investigation by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for alleged discriminatory employment practices.

The inquiry stems from over two dozen complaints filed since late 2023, accusing TCS of unfairly laying off American workers while primarily non-South Asians aged over 40 while retaining younger Indian employees on H-1B visas.

Former employees claim they were replaced by less experienced and lower-paid Indian workers, and some allege they were blocked from internal job opportunities within the company. These accusations have raised serious concerns about the potential misuse of the H-1B visa program and discrimination based on age and nationality.

TCS has strongly denied all allegations, calling them �meritless and misleading,� and reaffirmed its commitment to fair employment practices in the U.S. The controversy has sparked political attention as well. U.S. Representative Seth Moulton has urged a formal probe, and similar complaints have emerged in the UK, adding international pressure.

If the United States government finds any malal practises with regard to partial and favoured imposition of employment opportunities, the TCS could find itself in huge trouble. For now, only an investigation has been proved, and the facts regarding the case are being established.
