"We got a mail few weeks ago, asking our team to come to office five days a week. Until now, it was three days a week," a TCS employee said. However, other executives said the five-day week is not company wide , and depends on the team manager. "There are certain projects which require teams to come to office every day, while for the rest, it remains three days as of now," the executive said.

TCS said it cannot comment, citing a silent period.
