Ah gotcha and when you charge admin what do you generally put as a description?

Going over budgeted hours and you are basically screwing around but charging time

Sometimes you might get scheduled for 40hrs on a job but in reality the work should and has taken 65 hours. Eating hours would be just charging the 40.

Hr did not negotiate on the CTC either. After waiting for a month i tried reaching HR they did not respond. After multiple emails they simply say that they cannot move forward due to high deviations. Guys is this normal in TCS that even after final CTC discussions ,candidates get rejectd.
