"I'm a developer in a 4-member team, all with 2+ years of experience. Despite similar tenure, my colleagues rely heavily on me for technical guidance and logic. Last financial year, our team completed 70 automations; I contributed 40, while they shared 30.
Although I don't work excessively, my smart work approach ensures timely completion with high accuracy. I've requested a hike from my manager, citing my significant contributions. However, they cited company policies (TCS rules) and promotion requirements.
How can I take this and get hike.?

First, document your contributions clearly. Request a formal meeting with your manager to discuss your value. If that doesn't work, consider escalating to higher management or HR. If all else fails, explore opportunities outside.

Except the last line, everything is a waste of time

They wont really care unless you are leaving
First discuss with him and if he didn't reply till EOD drop formal resignation mail in negotiation explain same to HR
