NITES presses Maharashtra Govt on TCS onboarding delay

Bengaluru, Sep 7 (UNI) The Ministry of Labour & Employment, Government of India, has forwarded the representation concerning the indefinite delay in onboarding of more than 600 experienced lateral hires by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to the Maharashtra Government for necessary action, the Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES) said today.
Welcoming the acknowledgement, NITES president Adv Harpreet Singh Saluja said the step was important but not enough. “What employees desperately need is swift and decisive intervention. Forwarding files is not justice. Immediate redressal is essential for the thousands of professionals whose lives have been thrown into disarray,” he stated.
According to NITES, hundreds of IT professionals, many of whom had resigned from stable positions or relocated to new cities with the expectation of joining TCS, have been left stranded for months. “They are now facing financial hardships, emotional distress, and severe uncertainty about their careers. Their families are suffering silently because of corporate indifference and administrative delay. Their dreams have been shattered and their lives put on hold,” Saluja said.
In a sharp criticism of the government’s priorities, NITES highlighted the contrast between the urgency shown in clearing industry-driven proposals and the inaction on employees’ grievances. “It is deeply concerning to see the Maharashtra Cabinet recently approving the extension of permissible working hours for employees with extraordinary speed, which directly benefits employers. When it comes to workers’ rights, the urgency vanishes. This raises a fundamental question- does the government value employees as much as it values corporations?” Saluja remarked.
He stressed that workers are not machines but human beings with responsibilities, dreams, and families who depend on them. “The indefinite delay in onboarding is not merely an HR issue, it is a violation of trust, dignity, and the fundamental right to livelihood,” he asserted.
NITES also reminded the government that Maharashtra’s IT workforce has been the backbone of the state’s economy, powering its growth and reputation as India’s leading IT hub. “The contribution of IT professionals to Maharashtra’s development cannot be overlooked. The government must prove that it stands with employees as firmly as it does with employers,” the statement added.
Reaffirming NITES’ commitment, Saluja said the union would continue to fight on behalf of the affected professionals until justice is delivered. “We urge the Maharashtra Government to show the same responsiveness to employees’ grievances as it does for industry demands. The time for token acknowledgments is over- what is needed now is concrete action,” he said.
