Dear Anwar,
A company/employer can keep original certificates of an employee only for verification purposes for a limited time period say two to three months not beyond.
As per the provisions of Indian Penal Code retention of Original Certificates & Mark List by the Employer is a Criminal Offence punishable under Section 403 [DISHONEST MISAPPROPRIATION OF PROPERTY],406[CRIMINAL BREACH OF TRUST:]& 420 [CHEATING:].
Dishonest misappropriation and conversion of moveable property to their own use needs to be proved under Sec 403.It is the same case with Sec 406 & deception needs to be proved for Sec 420.
It is advisable to talk to the employer regarding return of the originals failing which one can give legal notice. The non compliance of the legal notice can entitle the employee to get a FIR registered.

Hi,
Collecting original documents by the emoployer is not legal. The employer does not mention it anywhere in written form. Employees are not given any acknowledgement.
Probation period is applicable only for permanent employees and not for contract employees.
