Which is the promotion cycle?

It depends on the corporate and varies as per the grade too. Your mngr need to initiate first. But anyways that is paused untill further notice from corporate for promotions.

Once upon a time in the magical land of TCS, brave warriors (a.k.a. employees) slayed bugs, managed deadlines like ninjas, and delivered projects with the power of a thousand keyboards. They waited every year for the Great Promotion Dragon and the Mythical Salary Unicorn... but alas, all they got was a monthly motivational email and a new manager who knew Excel but not the project.

Legend says the salary hike was so small, it needed a microscope to be seen. And the promotion cycle? It went round and round like a Ferris wheel… but never stopped at our seats.
