TCS Fires 16 Employees, Bars 6 Vendors In Connection With "Recruitment Scam"

TCS said the investigations found that none of the company's key managerial personnel were involved, and that this is not a fraud against the company.

India's largest IT services company TCS on Sunday said it has fired 16 employees and barred six vendors in connection with a "recruitment scam".

"Our investigation found 19 employees to be involved... 16 employees have been separated from the company for code of conduct violations, and three employees have been removed from the resource management function," the company said in a late evening statement.

It also added that six vendors, their owners, and affiliates have been "debarred" from doing any business with TCS.
