There is no law applicable to probation period but the period of probation is fixed according to the company policy considering the time required for the employee to make himself fit to perform the job independently. It may be six months, one year or even two years and the period of probation may even vary from person to person depending upon the past experience of the employee. The same is the case with management trainees. Only thing to be noted is that probation or training should not be a (cheap) method adopted by the organisation to deprive the rights of employees like ESI/EPF, Gratuity etc.

In addition to what Madhu said, please check the standing orders applicable to your company (model or certified standing orders). Generally the standing orders will give details of how trainees are to be appointed and what terms they will work. Similar there will also be details for how probation is to be initiated, closed etc.
In general it is a good idea to follow the norms even if you are not covered by the standing orders

Dear Narayan,
There is no law governing the period of probation of employees or the Training/probation of trainees(whether management or commercial).
These policies are drawn by the management taking into consideration its requirement.
Of course, the probation period in different organisations vary to any term from 3 months to 1 year. Like wise the training period for management/commercial etc trainees also varies from 1 to 2 years. some organisations combine probation period with the training period while others keep both of them separate.
However, for workmen covered under the provisions of Cetified Standing Orders the same will apply.
Thanks and regards
