TCS Hit with Legal Setback as US Appeals Court Upholds $194 Million Damages in DXC Case

November 23, 2025 - Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has encountered a significant legal blow in its ongoing dispute with DXC Technology, as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld a Texas District Court’s order requiring the company to pay substantial damages.

In a regulatory disclosure dated November 22, TCS confirmed that the appellate court maintained the financial penalties imposed by the lower court, while reversing a prior injunction. That portion of the case will now return to the Texas District Court for reconsideration.

The legal conflict traces back to 2019, when Computer Sciences Corp. (CSC)—which later merged with DXC Technology—accused TCS of misappropriating its proprietary insurance software. CSC claimed that TCS obtained unauthorized access through former Transamerica employees who had joined TCS following a $2-billion outsourcing agreement. This allegedly helped TCS build a rival insurance platform.

According to earlier filings, the Texas District Court in June 2024 ordered TCS to pay $194.2 million in total damages, including $56.15 million in compensatory damages, $112.30 million in exemplary damages, and $25.77 million in prejudgment interest.

Following the latest court decision, TCS stated it is reviewing its legal options, including potential appeals or review petitions. The company reiterated its intent to “vigorously defend its position” and assured it would make necessary financial provisions in accordance with accounting standards.

In parallel, TCS is facing scrutiny from domestic regulators. The Labour Commissioner’s Office in Pune recently summoned the company over allegations by the Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES) regarding illegal layoffs tied to plans to reduce its global headcount by around two percent. A hearing on the matter took place on November 18.

NITES alleged via social media platform X that the summons pertains to “illegal termination of employment and unlawful layoffs,” adding to the growing legal and regulatory challenges confronting India’s largest IT services firm.
