        I worked with a big listed company for 1 yr as an intern and 10 months as full time from 9 June 2025 to 13th March 2026.

        I was on probation even after PPO as per my appointment letter for a whole year from joining.

        There is no mention of leave encashment not available during probation in my OL or AL. Neither have I signed any such company policy by hand.

        I had received pro rata leaves already (21 days minus 1april to 9 june leaves) in my company dashboard on date of joining and I used some of them. At the end I had left 9 days still in it.

        I know there is time from 13march to 31st march where I did not work so that will also be cut.

        FNF came and no leave encashment received.

        What are my options under labour law and contract law. As per my understanding its my property as I have worked for those requirs days and acrued the particular number of days for earned leave.

        Maybe it will be 8. But definitely not 0.

        My basic pay as per epfo and salary slip calc is โ‚น46,667.

        HRA and supplementary allowance is separate. ( But i think it is not considered for leave payment).

        Need advice on how I can proceed against them.

        I had asked them for leave encashment on mail, and they said as per company policy not applicable to probation employees. I asked where did I sign such. No reply on that yet.
