A business in Lucknow answers to Uttar Pradesh for some of this and to central law for the rest. Lucknow district is the district for the local part.
Read this as a starting point, not as the last word. Addresses and rates here were right when they were checked and may not be today.

The entitlement comes from the state Shops and Establishments Act for non factory workplaces, and it is one of the areas where the rules really do change at the border. Earned leave accrual, the carry forward cap and the qualifying period are all set state by state.
The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 sets a national reference point of one day of leave for every twenty days worked, eligibility after 180 days in the calendar year, and a carry forward cap of 30 days. The existing state Acts continue in force while the codes settle in.
Three to six months is the normal range in India, and the length comes from the appointment letter rather than from a central statute. What ends it is a confirmation letter. Where none is issued, the employee is usually treated as confirmed by conduct once the period has passed and they are still working.
Probation does not suspend anything statutory. Provident fund enrolment, continuous service for gratuity and maternity entitlement all run from the actual date of joining.
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 Uttar Pradesh 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.
The employee serves the notice period without coming to work, stays on the payroll, and remains bound by the contract. Employers in Lucknow use it when someone resigning has access to customers or code and the risk of them working out the notice is higher than the cost of paying for it.
It has to be allowed by the contract, and the employee remains an employee throughout, so provident fund, insurance and the rest continue as normal.
Lucknow sits in Lucknow. Labour offices are appointed district by district, so that is the line that decides who inspects you.
Not levied in Uttar Pradesh
Only above the carry forward cap the applicable Act sets. Leave within the cap carries forward, and leave that was applied for and refused carries forward without limit under section 32 of the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code.
