TCS Layoffs 2025: 2,500 Employees Forced to Resign in Pune, NITES Seeks Govt Intervention

TCS reportedly forces 2,500 employees in its Pune campus to resign. Employee union NITES appeals to the Maharashtra government for support under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Here’s the full story.

What happened with the TCS layoffs?

Reports that 2,500 employees at Tata Consultancy Services‘ (TCS) Pune campus were allegedly compelled to resign have put India’s largest IT services company in the news.

The employee union NITES (Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate) says that this action has put thousands of families in financial trouble. Many of the affected workers are over 40 and must manage home mortgages, children’s school expenses, and other family responsibilities.

NITES asks the Maharashtra government for help

NITES has sent a letter to the Maharashtra state government asking them to take action right away to preserve workers’ freedoms. The main requests are

• Investigation into the alleged forced resignations
• Enforcement of the Industrial Disputes Act of 1947, which protects workers from being fired without cause
• Stop firing people without going through the right legal process.
• TCS management is responsible for their actions.

NITES stressed that IT workers should have the same rights as workers in other fields.

⚖️ The Legal Side: The Industrial Disputes Act of 1947

In India, the Industrial Disputes Act of 1947 is an important regulation that governs layoffs, retrenchments, and terminations. The union says that TCS broke these laws by forcing workers to quit on their own, which means they don’t have to give severance pay or follow the proper procedures for layoffs.

If this is true, it could set a bad example in India’s IT industry, where job security has typically been considered more reliable than in startups or small businesses.

👥 Effects on Workers

Reports say that the layoffs have struck mid-level and senior staff the hardest, especially those who have been there for 15 to 20 years. A lot of them are between 40 and 50 years old, which makes it uncommon for them to find work again in the fast-changing IT field.

The effects on both emotions and money are big:

• The possibility of loan defaults owing to losing your work suddenly
• Families are under a lot of mental stress and uncertainty.
• A lack of trust in big IT companies that are thought to be steady employers

🏛️ What comes next?

The Maharashtra government is now in charge of the ball. This case could make IT workers’ rights in India clearer if the government gets involved. On the other side, if TCS denies doing anything illegal and keeps cutting jobs, it could mean that the Indian IT sector is entering a new period of employment insecurity.

TCS has not yet released a formal, detailed comment on the situation.

🔎 Final Thoughts

The rumored layoffs at TCS in Pune bring up important issues regarding workers’ rights, corporate responsibility, and the government’s role in India’s growing IT industry. This lawsuit could change how India’s IT workers are handled during times of reorganization, affecting 2,500 families.
