Can I Join a New Company While Serving Notice Period in TCS?
Hi all,
Currently, I am serving my notice period at TCS. The HR team is not agreeing to an early release and has insisted that I serve the full 90 days. However, my new company’s joining date is February 1, while my last working day at TCS will be at the end of February.
The new company is not agreeing to extend the joining date, and I am keen to join them. I am not particularly interested in continuing with TCS.
Can I work for both TCS and the new company simultaneously during this overlap? Would this create any issues or problems legally or professionally?
Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.

TCS ko joota marne ke liye jo zaroori hai wo Karo. Ask your new company to give joining date after TCS lwd, while you start working a month before. This way you can retain your offer if you have no other offer. My colleague has done this. He actually went on payroll before lwd. Even his managers knew.
But my experience says a company who will accept this offer is unethical and not worth joining. After all why can't they wait for one more month? It is a legitimate ask.
You should not do that. This will be considered as Dual Employment and also they can easily prove it by checking Provident Fund Deposits This will impact the career. Also, if you join any MNC in future and there is a possibility that you will fail in background check and you will lose job
A big NO. Your career will be in trouble. Moonlighting
Strictly a big NO
You cannot
No
PF overlap, it's not recommended to do.
Don't do stupid things and destroy your carrier please check the consequences of dual employment TCS already fired many associates who found it in dual employment.
You will never get a job in future Donot do it. Give interviews in this time period
