Tata Consultancy Services
TCS63,215 LCA Filings in Six Years
Tata Consultancy Services filed 64,002 LCA applications from FY2020 through FY2025 in this dataset. The peak was FY2021 at 12,178 filings, then volume stepped down each year to 7,906 in FY2025.
TCS still appears as the #2 sponsor in the FY2025 USCIS Hub initial approvals snapshot, with 1,518 cases under TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES LIMITED. Volume is lower than the FY2023 LCA level, but the company remains one of the largest H-1B users in the country.
19 total denials across all years (0.0% of filings) - too small to display on this chart.
Peak, Dip, and Current Pace
The LCA trend is clear. TCS moved from 12,178 filings in FY2021 to 11,180 in FY2022, 10,219 in FY2023, 9,732 in FY2024, and 7,906 in FY2025. That is a 22.6% decline from FY2023 to FY2025.
Approval quality improved across the official USCIS FY2020-FY2023 annual series: 89.9%, 94.0%, 96.7%, then 95.2%. The FY2025 USCIS Hub row is a current initial-approval count, not a denial-rate row, so it is not a direct apples-to-apples continuation of the official annual series.
This site no longer charts H-1B filings as a share of workforce. The ratio can blur U.S. employees, global employees, contractors, and offshore delivery headcount into one denominator.
Rows with a disclosed U.S.-employee denominator available here: 0. The analysis now uses filings, approvals, wage, worksite, and title concentration instead.
Salary Trend and Wage Gap
TCS average H-1B pay rose from $74,548 in FY2020 to $90,192 in FY2025. There was a small dip from FY2023 ($89,892) to FY2024 ($89,565), then a rebound in FY2025 ($90,192).
The offered wage stayed above prevailing wage each year, but the gap compressed from a high of $9,314 to $1,612 in FY2025. This is still above prevailing wage, just by a much thinner margin.
Title Concentration Is Real, Occupation Mix Is Now Loaded
Top occupation rows are now available for the tracked TCS entity. Title data is also available and heavily concentrated.
The top title alone (Architect) is 41.3% of the listed top-title volume. The top three titles (Architect, Developer, Analyst) account for 71.0%. Case-variant duplicates like Architect and ARCHITECT likely mean true concentration is even tighter after normalization.
How to Read the USCIS and Workforce Series
Approval trend direction is positive across available years: 89.9% in FY2020 up to 96.7% in FY2022, followed by a 95.2% dip in FY2023. The FY2025 row is the USCIS Hub initial-approval snapshot used for current ranking, so it should not be read as a rate-bearing continuation of the FY2020-FY2023 annual records.
Workforce split remains the one major blind spot. SEC disclosures do not provide a clean U.S. employee denominator for TCS in this public source set, so H-1B share of workforce is still not interpretable here.
