TCS employee shares viral account of salary stagnation over 5.5 years

A Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) employee’s story about stagnant wages has gone viral, sparking debate about career progression in India’s IT sector. In a Reddit post on r/developersIndia, a Java developer who joined TCS in 2020 with a ₹25,000 monthly salary says his in-hand pay has dropped to ₹22,800 in 2026 despite 5.5 years of experience. Low ratings and pay cuts are hurting his job prospects.

MMTC shares moved higher as gold and silver prices strengthened sharply, boosting sentiment around the state-owned trading company. Rising precious metal prices have improved revenue expectations from bullion trading operations. Investors responded positively to the linkage between commodity price momentum and MMTC’s business performance. Market observers note that continued strength in global gold and silver prices could support earnings visibility, though volatility remains a key risk factor.
