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.

Seethe quietly? This is old news for me. Yes, it's not fair, but at least it's not personal because those who have higher salaries have them for one of two reasons: seniority within the government or they had higher salaries in the private sector that were matched upon their entry into the government. If I could get a better deal in another place, I'd aim for that, but this is the best I can do at the moment, so I don't think too much about the disparity.
Jobs have a market value, and that value is dynamic. It becomes a personal matter of value. You like your job and the people you're working with; embrace the 3% cola, or target your merit increase backed by accomplishments, accolades...your receipts. If not, move on and/or seek an offer elsewhere. Unfortunately, leaving a good position for better compensation isn't unheard of. The caveat is to leave on good terms and come back in a year for the raise you wanted in the first place.
Leave well alone! That’s a hornets nest to end them all! If I were you I’d start looking for another job!
The wage issue is probably down to grading or length of employment!
As long as you’re paid the amount you should be for your grade you won’t have any grounds for complaint! So leave it alone, it’s a wake up call to move on!
This happened to me. I was a team lead for a small team that included a person who was older than me, hired several years after I was, and had far fewer responsibilities than I did. Yet he was making significantly more money than I was. I prepared a memo for my director, laying out the discrepancy based on assigned responsibilities and citing company policy related to compensation appropriate to responsibility. My director was very apologetic, said he hadn't done the salary review that was necessary when promoting someone to a team lead position (or any promotion), and would rectify the situation. He did, I got the raise, and we continued on amicably. The reason the other team member was being paid more was that he was started at a higher salary than I was, which happens over time when market averages tend to go up. My salary should have been increased when I was appointed the team lead per the usual processes but that review was skipped for some reason. If I were you, I'd check your company policies about compensation (are there any adjustments for special qualifications or certifications that your coworker may have that you don't? E.g. are they a PMP and you aren't? Do they have significantly more experience than you? There may be legit reasons they are making more). If you feel you are being discriminated against, you need to make a logical argument based on law, company policy, and your own qualifications. If nothing else, you may be able to request a salary equity review of the role. Good luck!
Means your negotiating skills are weak.... leave it alone, continue to do your job and your raise will come. Turn into a disgruntled employee, you'll never get anywhere. You can also talk about it to manager. He'll protell you how you lack of qualifications...
Problem with negotiating is that you need to be willing to move to a new role if you lose the negotiation. Just asking and then when they say no you just go back to do the same job at the same rate does not give you any leverage. You also must make sure of your value so that if you end up leaving you know what they will be missing and be willing to make that point in a clear and quantifiable way.
This wouldn't be legal where I work. Everyone is paid according to their experience.
