A notice should be given to the company to give your notice period dues immediately. A complaint should be filed against the company in the labour court if they do not respond.

1. Without seeing the job contract the rights and obligations of respective parties can not be advised properly. 

2. If the company is bound by the terms of job contract then on its breach you have the remedy from court. 

3. Since litigation is time consuming and not so cost effective proceed for the same only if amount of money involved is huge.

Probation period is fixed by the organisation hiring an employee based upon its skill set requirements among other things.

Therefore not providing an appointment letter and the contract agreement is violation of labour laws.

Approach the labour court for wrongful termination and ask for back wages as well as for reinstatement. You will be given both since the company did not comply with mandatory and standard procedures. Make sure to bring forward all the facts including non issuance of letter of appointment, non payment of salary, wrongful termination etc.

You may also approach civil court for compensation of wrongful termination, reistatement and back wages. It is better to approach labour court since civil court are sometimes reluctant to grant relief for reinstatement.

Also since the law is of probation for three months as per ID act and standing orders then if you were working for more than three months then you automatically become a permanent worker and get all benifits if that.

I am sure they are trying to keep things off the record to avoid following mandatory rules like those you mentioned as well as for PF etc. They will definitely have to pay penalty for that when things come to the forefront after you approach the court.

 Verbal termination exist no where but in your case that without appointment letter you worked there , you can't say that they have terminated your services as there was no contract exists, transferring amount can't be said to be paid for what, but you must go for unfair labour practice against the company with the labour department for the relief.

- Probationary periods are often applied to new employees as a means of determining their capabilities in a new job.

- Hence, the employer can terminate during the probation , and employee can also leave the job with the terms and conditions mentioned in the appointment letter for probation. 

- Hence, if an employee leave the job during the probation period , then it not harm his career, and generally many company stipulates in contract , that during probation period either party can terminate the job with or without any notices.

- However, before terminating the employee , the employer should give a notice for the same. 

- The probation period is not fixed , and depend on the employers agreement , however, it should be at least 3 months. 

- Since, the said company terminating you after keeping you in dark , hence you should send a legal notice , and thereby ask for reinstate the job .

In the absence of appointment letter in writing,  you may not be able to get any benefit from the company. 

The company may claim that they appointed on a oral contract basis 

You cannot do anything about it even though you may prove that salary payment was made to by company account. 

How long have you been working with the company?

If it's a negligible period then you may ignore it. 

However nothing prevents you from issuing a legal notice to the company.
