Wipro Disburses 90% Quarterly Variable Pay to Majority of Employees

As per news reports, Wipro has disbursed an average of 90% variable pay to most of its workforce for the fourth quarter of FY25 (January-March 2025). This figure is notably higher compared to Infosys, which paid around 65% due to a subdued market climate.

TCS, on the other hand, awarded full variable pay to 70% of its staff, with the remaining employees receiving it based on their business units’ performance. Wipro’s move is seen as an effort to reward performance and retain talent amid volatile market conditions.

Industry Trends Amid Challenging Business Environment

The broader IT industry in India continues to face uncertainty driven by tariff tensions and geopolitical instability, causing companies to tread carefully on compensation decisions. While Infosys provided 5-8% salary hikes earlier in the year, TCS delayed increments and stated they would be revisited once there is improved business visibility. 

Wipro has also deferred its usual annual salary revision cycle, which typically begins in July. 

Annual Compensation and Workforce Overview

For the full financial year, Wipro’s average variable payout stood at approximately 95%, issued with May salaries. As of 31 March 2025, Wipro employed 2,33,346 people. Employees from junior to mid-level roles (Bands A to B3) received the full 90% in Q4, while those in senior positions were assessed individually based on performance and business outcomes. This policy reflects Wipro’s intent to align compensation closely with results, supporting both motivation and retention.
