             3.Buy 5 demi (court paper) / green paper (court paper) / Legal / A4 papers

You can print first 3 Lines on first Rs.50 stamp paper and next some paras on another Rs.50 stamp paper and the remaining pages on other demi paper.
                     Read the service agreement guidelines carefully before filling up anything. Many might find this silly but I prefer filling up Xerox copies first. It can save you the money for printing again in case something goes wrong! So we are here going to use a Rs.100 stamp paper for the first few lines

(THIS AGREEMENT made at Mumbai on this 1. ______________________________________ day of 2. _________________, Two thousand and 3. _______________________ between TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES LIMITED,)
and print the rest on simple A4 papers or Legal or demi papers. Fill everything up in CAPS, using a pen. Do not remove any clause, not even the page numbers! Don’t forget your signature and surety’s signature on the bottom of each page!! Service Agreement needn’t be notarized.

Surety Verification: 
                               This is a part of the Service Agreement. Any person who is an Income Tax Payee or has Land property can be your surety! Example: your father!  So just make sure you place the signatures in proper places and have your surety fill up the “Surety Verification Form”. This form has to be attested by a Gazetteer Officer or the manager of a nationalized bank where the surety holds an account or employer of the surety! or public notary 

Ø  Attested photocopies of the surety’s pan card.

Downloads: Revised format 2016-March


use these PDF files to make a print. and if you want  TCS Service agreement and Non-criminal affidavit in doc or docx format you can download from the below links but you are advised to use PDF format for perfect alignment  and Indian rupee symbol ( ₹ 50,000 ) in older ms office version ( ?50,000) this  symbol won't be there so careful and check before print the service agreement 




             Never hurry with the documentation!! You never know when TCS changes the formats. Call up the helpline or your ILP coordinator (if your ILP location is particularly strict about certain formats) and clear your doubts! I think calling up or mailing the ILP coordinator clears your doubts in a major way
