Following serious allegations of sexual harassment and religious conversions at its BPO unit in Nashik, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has asked its employees at the Nashik facility to work from home.
"TCS has asked its employees at Nasik station to work from home. The decision has been taken for the convenience and safety of employees," said TCS sources.
The move comes after multiple complaints from women employees alleging sexual harassment, coercion, and attempts at religious conversion at the TCS Nashik unit. Police have registered several FIRs in the case and arrested a number of individuals, including senior staff members.
Meanwhile, the National Commission for Women (NCW) has constituted a fact-finding committee to conduct a detailed inquiry into the alleged incidents of sexual harassment of women at the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) BPO unit at Nashik in Maharashtra.

The committee has been mandated to conduct an on-the-spot inquiry at the TCS facility in Nashik and any other relevant locations; examine the circumstances leading to the incident and assess the response of concerned authorities and interact with victims, police officials, company representatives, and other relevant stakeholders to gather evidence, the statement explained.
Besides, the committee will identify lapses, if any, and recommend appropriate action against those found responsible and suggest remedial measures to prevent recurrence of such incidents and to strengthen safety mechanisms for women in workplaces, the statement said.
The committee will function in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(1) read with Section 10(4) of the NCW Act, 1990, and is required to submit its report to the Commission within 10 working days.
