Ø    Power of signature, which has hardly any significance few months back but can now fetch Lakhs from any bank.

Ø    Power of Official email ID -> It is said that whenever you send mail from TCS email id you are not representing yourself, you are also representing TCS. so once it is misused and sent to client , it may terminate the project and can cause loss for TCS ,in terms of million of dollars.
