Having unconditionally accepted the terms of offer of appointment, one is bound by it and cannot turn back on whatever term is unacceptable. The organisation has spend considerable time, energy and work hours to recruit you and it would again require such efforts in six months to find your substitute and train him to the desired level. Though three months' notice period during probation period is very much on the higher side, but looking to the nature of software industry it cannot be termed unjustified. You may approach the higher officials and seek suitable reduction in notice period on genuine grounds.

Statement 2 states that either party may terminate the contract giving three months notice or three months gross salary you may write to your company quoting this. In your letter in case of unsatisfactory performance your service may be terminated during probation by giving one month salary this is unilateral and unfair.

You write to the company asking for early releiving and offering three months salary
