Hi Ravi, It is not legal at all... I strongly believe, this could never have any valid reason. Thanks, Sathish Ravichandran

Dear Ravi,

It is not at all acceptable to hold employees' salary until his probation completion. If needed, you should inform your bosses/management that it is illegal and unethical to follow such systems.

Nobody can hold your salary if you have worked and your attendance marked.
