On the joining date, or within the first few days. Waiting until the end of probation is common and it is a mistake, because the terms that govern probation itself sit inside the appointment letter. An employee who is confirmed without ever signing one has been working on an offer letter and a set of assumptions.
For a growing company in Punjab, the practical rule is simple. Offer letter at acceptance, appointment letter on day one, confirmation letter at the end of probation, and every one of them generated from the same stored terms so the three documents agree.
Wage and attendance registers are inspection documents, so they are kept for the period the applicable Act and rules set, commonly three years and in several states longer. The safer habit at a company in Punjab is to keep every issued payslip indefinitely, because it costs nothing and it is the first thing asked for in a provident fund enquiry or a wage claim.
Records only help if they are consistent. A payslip regenerated from current settings two years later will not match the one issued at the time unless the issued copy was stored.
Provident fund moves with basic pay and dearness allowance. Employee state insurance moves with gross wages and may stop entirely if the revision takes the employee past the 21,000 rupee ceiling, though contribution continues to the end of that contribution period. Professional tax may cross a slab. Gratuity provisioning rises.
One revision, four downstream effects. Generating the letter and the payslip from the same stored structure is what keeps them consistent.
April, aligned to the financial year, is the most common cycle, with a smaller number running in October or on the employee joining anniversary. The cycle matters less than the consistency. A company in Punjab that revises salaries when people ask, rather than on a cycle, ends up with pay that reflects who negotiated hardest.
Whatever the cycle, the letter should be issued before the revised salary appears in the bank account, not after.
Barnala is in Barnala. The district matters because the labour office, and in a few states the professional tax authority, are district level appointments.
