Dear Amit,
The Bombay High Court has ruled that "Probation Period Can't Be Enhanced Beyond Six Months As Stipulated By Model Standing Orders." (*Bom. HC 209 - Judgment in Feb-2016*). I do not have the complete judgment, but you may do a Google search to find it.
Thanks,

According to my knowledge,
1. The probation period should be 3-6 months from the date of joining in a specific manner.
2. If further evaluation indicates the need for more improvements, it may be extended for an additional 3 months.
3. If an individual fails to meet the performance standards, management may terminate their employment due to consistent poor performance.

Generally, when any offer is given, there is a mentioning of a probation period which varies between 3 and 6 months with the purpose of assessing the new appointee. In the event of the performance not being found satisfactory, the probation could be extended by another 3 to 6 months. The total period of 9 to 12 months (probation) is quite a reasonable period to assess the performance of the probationer.

In continuation of the replies from our learned friends, I would like to add that if the concept of probation is properly understood, the necessity for extending a new entrant's probation is a matter of limited choice. As such, the question regarding the probable number of extensions of probation becomes automatically irrelevant.
Understanding Probation
Probation is the situation or the definite period during which a new employee's suitability for their job and the work culture of the organization is assessed objectively. If the incumbent is a fresher and the job for which they have been selected is highly technical or professional, involving intensive training either pre-appointment or on-the-job, probation can be extended only once. This depends on the nature of the shortfall noticed in their performance, subject to the service conditions or Standing Orders of the establishment.
Limitations on Extension
However, in my opinion, the extension cannot be more than the original period of probation, whether it is three months or six months as already fixed. In other words, after the expiry of the probation period, the probationer cannot be kept as such under the pretext of extension after extension, which would amount to bad HR practice or unfair labor practice.
