TCS doesn't care for its employees and Even Clients dont
I was forcibly mapped to one of the bank project without my consent and was asked to work from client location as a team member after having 10+ yrs exp and being a team lead last 4 years.
The work is support level work and the client is expecting me to stretch for 12 hours, timings are sharp 8:30 to 5:30 and daily at 5:30 tasks are assigned to me to make sure I stay back late in the office.
Client employees get New laptop and bags, and TCSers are given used bags and laptops there. In cafeteria for eating If anyone takes paper plate they charge 5 rs. They provide no transport for contractors and expect us to reach by sharp 8:30 am. Most of the work is given to TCSers.
Client employees follow hybrid model and We are asked to work 5 days a week. We are asked not to take even unplanned leaves for next 2 months.
The manager himself says the work load will be too high with loads of pressure, you may even cry at times but if you sustain 6 month you can work anywhere.
Tip for all of you : Never come to DBS account

My current situation is exactly resembles you. additionally I was not even given any leaves/wfo exception though I have cited my wife's pregnancy complications and delivery due date is nearing in one/two months. Now, I have dropped my resignation last week after getting offer of same TCS pay in my previous organization(which has good work cultures)
They don't have paternal leave policy and anyhow they're not giving any leaves for next 2 months. So I directly went to notice period, where I can't entitled to any leaves now. But I don't need to care about their rules, will do wfh and take care of my family. Checked with buyout too, but they're not ready negotiate single day.
Sorry to hear bro. Check with HR for options
