I recently joined TCS but I was moved into very different project which was told during hiring. Also they told me for joining incentive but later after 65 days of joining they didn't give saying your business aproval got rejected. I really want to be with TCS but due to project dissatisfaction, I am looking for different job. I am not sure if I can leave the organisation soo soon(4 months) and it should not effect my carrier.

Never. My boss would never think of scheduling a meeting at lunch. I did go to a few trainings where they called it a working lunch but they had it catered so that was fine with me - lol. I would hope that managers are more cognizant of the fact that people need breaks during the day and lunch is a time that should not be messed with - lol.
Not very often. I have had to either take an early lunch or late lunch to accommodate the schedule of a key player in an important meeting, but so far this year I've only been called once to "cut it short" and get back to the office for an unexpected -- and irate -- client that needed calming down. My manager is pretty good about realizing that 8 hours of the work day belong to the company and the other 30 minutes is mine.
I put a time block on my calendar so that my lunch breaks are not interrupted. I need that time to myself to get through the day.
Every day!
This question is triggering because I don't remember the last time that I got a lunch break to myself. When I work from the office, my direct reports come to my desk and ask questions. At home, I get Slacks even if I'm offline.
