But we did not had any written communication regarding the joining bonus and now the candidate is asking for clarification to deduct joining bonus as per appointment letter clause.

Dear Ashish
You need to recover that amount from the employee why because in offer letter you are mention the probatation period for Six months.
For the above cause the employee needs to work upto 6 months if he/she voluntary resigned they need to paid that money to the company, for all these type consequence you make policy for internal and take the approval of your board of Directors or MD of the company.
One more option is if the HOD has given waveoff then we cann't recover that amount from the employee.
Let me know if you have any further clarification.
