TCS CEO K Krithivasan receives about ₹28 crore in remuneration for FY26, according to the company’s annual report cited by multiple outlets. Deccan Chronicle says his remuneration is ₹28 crore for 2025–26, up 6.3% from the previous year. Business Standard puts the figure at ₹28.1 crore and reports the increase at roughly 6%, also attributing it to disclosures in TCS’s annual report. Mint similarly reports that Krithivasan’s pay crosses ₹28 crore at ₹28.1 crore, with the increase of about 6%, and links the timing to broader restructuring and workforce changes reported for the fiscal year.
Mint notes that the pay rise occurs while TCS trims its workforce, reporting a reduction of 23,460 employees in FY26, and mentions public scrutiny around layoffs and restructuring. Deccan Chronicle also reports that Tata Group and TCS Chairman N. Chandrasekaran takes no commission and receives only sitting fees of ₹4.2 lakh. Business Standard adds that TCS states employee salary increases remain aligned with market trends.
