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.

Grade promotions aren't automatic. You need to search USAjobs and find a job at the next grade to apply to. At my agency, they do roster job postings at few times a year, then they pick someone from the roster when a new position opens up. Good luck.
Thing is I’ve been with the Fed’s for years. At other agencies I’ve always automatically got the grade after a years review. Others that work within my department have received grade increases AND WE DO pretty much the same duties, so it’s odd, that I get nothing because my title doesn’t call for it. Something isn’t right. Thanks for your suggestion.
I’ve only worked with government employees and contractors while in the army, but my brother-in-law and his wife are both in contractor roles. They can bump your Step every 6 months, but most roles only fall within 1-2 levels. You have to apply for positions to get level promotions, unless position is listed with a range of GS11-12 as example. If you come in at a GS11, you can be bumped up to a GS12 within your role with your next annual review after 12 months in role.
This isn’t a situation where one would have to apply for a new position. It’s the same job that has different tiers. One would remain under the same supervisor, keep their same desk they would just say “I’m _____ tier 3”.
Are you talking about a step increase? Or a grade increase? If your position is not a laddered position (9,11,12) then they cannot just “give” you a higher grade. That would require rewriting the position to be a higher grade which rarely RARELY does that happen. A step increase however is entirely different and can be awarded, typically every year for the first four years, then every two years after. For example, GS12 step 1, GS12 step 2 etc etc.
I spent 12 years as a GS and have never heard of “levels”. I would look at your position description and see what it states as the maximum grade is.
