Lay off is it still going on if going on what is the termination criteria

No criteria.. no parameter.. if your luck doesn't support you .. nothing will work against management decisions..

If you are lucky you get out and eventually get better pay

Lucky draw system apparently

yes. going on. last year c plus wfo plus hours in office plus other criteria also which i am not aware

some pause till Nov 2nd week ?

No one knows the exact criteria. Be compliant with all the process if you want to continue work in tcs. If you are on the bench get the project whatever rmg is offering
