Hi,
A probationary period is a term during which an employee acquires the adequate skills to perform the job. Normally, it is company policy to keep the period for 3 to 6 months, though some companies may extend it to one year. There is no specific law dictating this period.
In some companies, if an employee's performance is not satisfactory, the probationary period may be extended for additional months.

Dear Nandani,
In private companies, the notice period is generally for 6 months. If an employee does not perform well, we can extend their probation period after providing them with an extension letter.

Hi,
It is not the probation period that is countable like 3 months, 6 months, and even 12 months. It is only the speed and accuracy of the candidate in learning things faster and adopting the workings of the desired role.

Hi Nandhini,
It is the company policy to fix the period of probation. Normally, it could be one year for junior-level employees and 6 months to 3 months for senior staff. As far as the labor law is concerned, you may refer to the Factories Act for the definition of probation.

The period of probation can be decided depending on the nature of work. It may vary from three months to 2 years.
There is no labor law restricting the period not exceeding three months. Model standing orders are drafted in accordance with the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act 1946. If anyone has information about the legislation restricting the probation for a period not exceeding three months, please share the information with all.
Probation period is for testing the ability of the employee to perform the job for which he is recruited. Even though a scientific selection process is followed, some employees may not be suitable for the job. That is not their inefficiency or lack of skills. Matching the job with the person is the problem. This can be overcome by training to a great extent.
The probation period can be extended at the discretion of the management, but the reasons for extension - expected performance, actual performance, and deficiency - must be informed to the employee so that he can improve his performance and attain the expected level of performance.
