Telecom, essential IT-ITES services to function with minimal staff and e-pass will be provided to workers in the list provided by the companies.

Earlier, the TN state government, on July 6, had permitted 50% of employees of IT/ITeS companies to work from the office. But it capped the maximum number of employees to 80.
