Will CTS follow TCS??

Not sure.. I can give you my view..
When was the last hike given by TCS? I am not sure but if it is was around April 25, then they are keeping a gap between their annual hikes

According to CTS, they have given the hikes only in Nov25 - atleast they can claim - so they can use this excuse to delay till Nov26 to complete 12 months gap

.

I think TCS last year provided September 2025

Yes we got in November 2025

Notice period people laughing in corner 🤣

I’m really annoyed and tired. Thoughts?
