Retention money in tcs

Where to find this retention money information I haven been working in tcs for the last 3 years but never received it

Yes they will pay you!

For example you Joined on Feb 1st 2025 , you will get 50K retention bonus on Feb 1st 2026

Retention policy has mentioned in CTC from 2023 year, so guys who joined before 2023 won't see any retention policy in their CTC, and by the way they are lucky enough for not holding this money from company

Nothing ks mentioned in my offer letter or compensation letter.

You'll receive it only if it's mentioned in the offer letter. It's paid along with anniversary month's salary. For ex - I joined on 8th March 2023. I was paid the retention amount in March'24 and March'25 salary. No deductions except income tax on that.

Condition apply for this

Yes. Retention Incentive is part of your compensation. You will get every year

Yo @Brightmind if you want to keep hearing opinion then you are more than welcome, but as discussed above. The true fact is that, this policy of retaining some amount from your CTC and releasing it after you complete one year ( This keeps going on each year though) is a fact and you will get it. There is no condition to it. If some did not receive it as @CleanKitty53 mentioned then it's totally exceptional case. I have been in TCs for almost 5 years now and I have received it every year as it's my own money taken during the start of each year and released after I complete one year !

Side note: I did not get it for three years though as I was in UK (on-site)

That is the annual bonus that they will surely get I got it

Yes for few employees we have retention bonus, but according that is waste concept bro.

Only if you complete one year in TCS then only you get it

Better to ask HR to add the 50k in CTC
