Antiwork

Could refusing to work overtime or weekends lead to termination in a corporate environment for software engineers in India, especially in companies like TCS, Wipro, Infosys, etc.?

For the last month, I've been working around 12-14 hours per day and also putting in 5-6 hours on weekends. But now, I've clearly told my manager that I can't keep up with this workload since I have a family to take care of. I'll be working 9 hours and 15 minutes daily moving forward. Even though a company might not fire an employee directly for not working overtime, they could terminate based on reasons like poor ratings, not meeting expectations, or due to organizational restructuring. Is this a possibility? If yes, I'll continue to endure and work overtime because I can't afford to lose my job.
